4 gauge will be fine with that amp...but cheaper 1/0 ga is usuALLY NOT MUCH BIGGER THAN 4 GAUGE...yOU AMP WILL WORK FINE WITH THAT SUB...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Sorry I hit the cap button by mistake //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Ya you would probably need to do 0/1 gauge wire.. unfortunatly i find it for that amp to work on that sub. the amp does 1000 RMS and the sub does 5000 i dont think it will do that job.
