[QUOTE="geowick07, post: 4396104, member: 568423"] You could probably get away with 8 gauge, but since you're gonna have to redo them anyway, may as well use 4 gauge. My first system, I was only running 500 RMS, and I went with 1/0 from the battery to the trunk, then distro down to 8 gauge. But, when the upgrade bug bit, I was set with what I had used in the first setup. Your choice, but I would recommend using the largest you can afford, for future-proofing purposes. What I would do: Run 1/0 from the battery to the trunk/cab (not sure what vehicle you have), into a distro. Then, 4 gauge power to the amp, and 4 gauge ground from amp to wherever your ground is now.
