power and ground cables

For the power and ground you should use 8 gauge wires for optimum performance. For the remote wire 12 gauge. The larger the gauge, the less resistance, more power available, more efficiency.

Use 14 gauge on the 12volt Positive side, and 12 gauge on the negative ground. For the speakers, if you run one channel or run both channels parallel, use 12 gauge. If you use 2 separate channels, use 14 gauge. If you use four separate channels, 16 gauge will suffice. But don't go too big, or else you'll ground the positive side and lose power and clarity. Be sure to put an extra fuse on the 12+V side. If you use a Power On Signal Wire as well, 18 gauge will be fine. Remote wires can be 18 guage. Input wires can also be 22 gauge, as long as there is good resistance on the input curcuitry(i.e. a High Input terminal block.

12 guage buck shot should do the trick...that way we won't have to hear your music blaring all over town.
