i only run 8 guage to my subs. nothing wrong with alittle overkill.

but its pointless 16 will do fine you will not notice any difference between it except a waste of money

depending on the circumstances you could be VERY wrong.

For daily 12 is fine and is only a few bucks more than 16.

pretty sure this is daily 12-16 is perfect there only rs no need for 8 gauge

IIRC, you're alot better running more than 12 guage for 1200 watts.

someone wrote it out here. i would not do 16.

8 or 10.

It isnt going to make that big of a difference depending on how long of a run it is. But if you plan on cometeing at all the bigger the better.
