im surmising that a suitable wiring would be as follows,

1/0 from battery to distro block,

3 4 gauge runs from distro to amps,

then 10 gauge from amps to speakers and subs,

or would i need two runs of 1/0 to the distro block to run all 3 amps ?

what are the fuse ratings on the amps?

and for door speakers 14 ga speaker wire should be fine....in fact, 16 would even work.

fuse rating for the aq are 200 each,

and im not sure on the kicker , let me check real quick

looks like the fuse rating on the kicker is 40Ax2

wait needs an inline 80 amp fuse on the power wire

Run the largest wire you can afford (that’s what I tell my customers)

With three amplifiers; you should be considering adding another battery

Install the auxiliary battery near the amplifiers, if possible.
