0 or 4 gauge?

[cstek 10+ year member]

Wiring two amps with 2000 watts max, about 1000 RMS. 0 or 4 gauge wire. I found one on ebay for 130 tha was 0 gauge, Im not sure if I need 0 gauge? I dont really want to spend that much, but if i have to I will.

Any links or kit prefreneces would be great. Thanks again

Go with 0 man it's better in the long run. I started with a 200 watt mtx sub and thought that's all I was ever going to put in. I'd use a run of knukonceptz 0 the klmx type at 1.70 ft. or you could ball hard with the kollosus at 3.40 a foot

If you oorivide more info on the amps it would help. RMS is more important than max, and brand/model amps would be good if you have selected them.

For 1000 watts rms 4 gauge will be fine, but if you think you'll ever upgrade go ahead and use the 1/0.
