8 gauge should be fine but if you want to upgrade in the future you should just get 0 gauge so you won't have to buy more wires in the future and do a re-install. I wish I would of know that myself.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

8 guage should work but 4 guage wouldn't hurt in case you wanted to upgrade later

I would say go to walmart, pick up their biggest kit, its around 25 bucks, has 4ga power and ground, distro block to 8ga, two sets of rcas, and i believe some speaker wire, cannot be beaten for the price

goddammit you got your post in ahead of mine! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nono.gif.eca61d170185779e0921b0faa9704973.gif anyways 0 guage seems a little excessive. if you plan to go from 225 to like 1200 soon then go for 0 guage

What i meant to say was for speaker wiring. To get the most power into the speaker

no more than 12 gauge, prolly want to go with 14-16 though in this case.
