Is this wiring configuration correct?

Making sure I'm doing this right.

Battery Positive Terminal > 4g fuse holder > 100 amp AGU fuse > 4g wire > 4g input to Distribution block > 2 8g outputs (Fused side A, 60 amp AGU fuse > 8g wire out to subwoofer amp) (Fused side B, 40 amp AGU fuse > 8g wire out to mids/highs amp)

To further clarify, I have a 4g fuse holder with a 100 amp fuse about 4 inches from the battery, this 4g wire runes to the trunk, I have it distributed to 2 seperate 8g outputs, one output fused at 60amps, this goes to my sub amp, rated 650w @ 2 ohms, it has an onboard fuse of 2x30 amps fuses. And the other 8g output which has a 40 amp fuse, goes to my mids/highs amp which has an onboard fuse of 2 20amp fuses.

 
i'd probably swap the AGU fusing out for midi ANL though. AGU fuses have issues with the solder joints giving way. fuse will still appear to be good but it isn't and you'll be scratching your head as to why you have no power.

i don't carry them at my store nor do i install them if someone brings me them and wants them installed. i explain why they're no good and show them what i have to offer.

 
Thanks, and yeah the agu fuse I used previously in my distro block was cutting power to my amps, and was actually shorting out. the little block terminal of the output side was loose, and was constantly losing contact. I replaced them, though.

I agree with every one above. OFC is much better. Copper is a much better conductor than aluminum.
