okay with two of those, you'll either be running it at 1 ohm final or 4 ohms final. 1 ohm for the most power. but they are rated at 500w RMS each. so ur gains should feed the sub 1000w total RMS. that brutus will be slightly overrated, but still 1/0 gauge is a good idea for that much power. either look at some audiopipe like before, some hooker wire, or better yet, a kicker kit or knukonceptz.com wire

do brands really matter in wires??

yes and no,

a good brand will give you good shielding, flexibility, and a high strand count.

cheap wire will give you all shielding + less wire, less flexibility, and less strand count.

my thing is, do it once, and do it right.

Burping 4kw through 16ga will not heat it up enough to cause issues.

I'd like to see someone use 16ga wire daily on 2kw+ I hope you have full coverage.
