You don't have to...but it's a good idea. You're runnin more power so you'll need to get more power to the amps. Your amp will run better though with larger cable. The watt kits are just different size guages.

It won't mess up wires but your amp won't perform like it should. Blowing the fuse.....that depends on what size is in the line with the wire now. You wanna get a fuse a lil smaller then the one on the amp so it'll pop that first instead of goin to the amp if anything ever happened

running wire that is too small is not a very good idea. think of it like trying to drink a milk shake trhough one of those coffee stirring straws. not fun right? you can get some through that thing but you have to work really hard to get it then you eventually say screw it. same thing your amp will try to pull the power it needs through it but it will have to work really hard to get it and it will get pretty hot and loose sound quality not to mention power. and prematurely your amp will say screw it and over heat and die. not fun stuff.
