Amp Install

[Peco 10+ year member]

I'm going to be starting my car audio project in the next few weeks so I need to get what I need before I start. I'm going to be hooking up a JL Audio 1000/1 to 3 JL Audio 10W3 and I'm also going to install my Precision Power PC4200 PowerClass to my front speakers, not sure what to get for speakers yet. What would be a good power Wire size to run both of these amps? I was thinking 1/0 awg what that be a big enough to handle 1200 watts? Also I'm going to do the BIG 3 Should I use the same size wire as the power wire?Thanks

Where should I look for a Distribution Block from?? The JL needs 4awg and the Perciision has 10 awg and It's like a adapter or plug the has the power and ground together as on plug

You can find some good 1/0 cable at Welding Supply that is pretty cheap.

Make sure to pick up some ring terminals while you are there.
