It's been a while since I've been in the car audio world and my memory isn't quite working at the moment. I need some advice

I am installing an Alpine 7995 HU, Xtant 600w RMS amp (uses 80amp fuse) and an Alpine 30x4w RMS amp (uses 30amp fuse). My car has a 75 amp alternator.

1. Should I use 0awg and 4awg? I have both, just not sure which one to use.

2. I have an 80a fuse and a 125a fuse for the main power wire (near battery) - again, I'm not sure which one to use?

BTW, I never crank it up to the max.

4ga would be fine
use the 125A fuse at the battery
