Do I need a better fuse?

I'm going to get my amp and sub installed, and I'm wondering about the install kit, and the fuse in particular. The amp is an Elevation Audio XS125.4:

For the wiring kit, I was thinking I'd get this 4 gauge 4 channel kit from KnuKonceptz:

This kit comes with a fuse holder that can handle up to 80A. I was wondering I needed higher, like 100A (someone told me I needed to). Thank you, I'm new to all this, so I'm sorry if this is a silly question.

Your fuse should match the amperage rating of the wire or even a bit lower, just to be safe. 4 gauge should have at max, a 150amp fuse.
