Assuming the length of the run is less than 20 ft or so, 4 ga should really be adequate. You can always go 2 ga if you want.

Posting the total ammount of fusing on the amps and the length of the run would give us a much better idea though.

around 12 feet and as fusing do u mean what size of fuses i am going to put in the block ?????
