4ga incase you upgrade.

Do you think I would be able to use 8 guage..cause I have some right now and the next time i upgrade is when i get my new car so ill have to run new wires then. Is 8 guage okay for this setup for now...?

If you are on a budget, there shouldnt be anything wrong with tha 8ga. But rarely is it bad idea to go wider so if you have the money, I would go with 4ga.
