Would I be ok with 1200WRMS with 4 gauge? It's about 15Ft. of 4 gauge. I'll be getting some 1/0 in the next 2 months or so.

but to answer your question 4 gauge is good up to 1400 rms on average so you should be fine. but i would get the 0 gauge asap.

That depends on how long your runs are.. You're not going to see 1400W on a 20' run of 4awg.

Why not get the 1/0 now? 'Cause I get it for free once my buddy gets back from Europe. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif I don't want to spend money if I don't have to.

You'll be fine with 4 ga. in terms of safety. If you have good quality 4 ga. like KnuKonceptz Kolossus then you'll definitely have no problems.
