too much difference between 0and2gauge?

I bought a Rockford Fosgate T2 1000WRMS 2000WPEAK with a 1000rms amp...

I just want to know if there is that much of a difference between buying a 2 gauge and a 0 gauge for my wiring... (STINGERS)

most people find that if they have enough watts to make the jump from 4awg to something bigger.. they might as well go all the way up to 1/0. There are also a lot fewer accesories for 2awg then there are for 4awg or for 1/0awg.

I was kinda wondering the same myself. Cause I currently have 2 gauge running as my main power and ground. However I went ahead and bought alot of 1/0 gauge to rerun them. And am going to sell the 2ga. to a buddy that only will be running 2 amps and about 1000 watts total.

But does it make a big difference when u connect it to 2 or 0 gauge?

The thing is if it's worth it to spend a little bit more in 0 gauge or can I spend less and get a 2 gauge... is it gonna make a big difference?

Will 2 gauge be ok?
