fusing near the battery (under the hood) is to protect your power wire, not your amps.... Farther down at the distro block is where you'll use fuses to protect the amps! Well, 4 awg seems small for what you're doing. I'd got with 2awg, and a 150A at the battery.... at the distro block it will be different for each amp....
