I have a Hifonics BXi 2006D.
I am ganna be running it at a stable 1ohm 2000w rms.
The 12" Pioneer Premiers run at 1000w rms/3000w peak.
The amp has 2 guage wire inputs.
Would 2awg be good for the amps power or should i use 0awg??
If so,.....
Would i be able to fit the 0awg wires in the 2awg inputs of the amp??

I would go with the 2 gauge, i have the bxi2005d which is the same amp just last years model and im running 4 gauge and it works good, i dont think 0 in needed but 2 would probably help out a bit

it is not just based on power and what the amp can take but also how far the wire is going to be traveling. check out this chart it will help you out. good luck.

I dont know if you have seen 0 gauge but it is THICK. you would have to run it under the car in a pipe its that big. plus 0 gauge is for like running 10k watts. I had a system with about 2000 watts in it and used 4 gauge running from battery to my amp rack. 4 gauge would work, if you really think you need to go bigger, you can try using 2 gauge but you shouldnt need it.

You probably won't get the 0 gauge wire in the 2 gauge openings. The manufacturers size the connectors for the recommended wire size; stick with what they designed.
