Wrong.... anytime you reduce the wire size you need a proper sized fuse.

Try to run a distroblock that has fused built in (for the power cable). Most people don't, tho if you had an EE, or safety inspector looking at your install, they'd be all over you if you don't fuse each reduction in wire size.

What you can do, is do 1/0awg and then just run a 80amp fuse (60 amp may work, may pop, and 100 would also work too) next to your battery. 4awg can safely transfer 125amps of current for about 15 feet I think, so as long as you go with a smaller fuse and not something like a 150/200/250 amp fuse you won't have to double fuse the power cable.
