What size speaker wire should I use for the door speakes and woofer

Here's my setup:

PIONEER AVHX5600BHS In-Dash DVD Player {INSTALLED}

Image Dynamics CTX65CS 100W RMS {Ordered}

Image Dynamics CTX65 100W RMS {Ordered}

Precision Power P1000.1

Precision Power P900.4

2 Sundown SD-2 8" Woofers 300 RMS

I also plan on using Kolossus 1/0 gauge power wire from battery to Distro & 4 gauge to each amp. And Krystal RCA Kables

16 AWG copper wire is plenty for this setup, even the subwoofers.

Basic Car Audio Electronics

Section 16 (Wire) has a calculator for wire gauge. You input the amount of power your running, the impedance of the speaker, the wire gauge, and the length and it will tell you if it's too small.

I'm a noob and I've always done this whenever possible.
