    4 awg seems right to me too

    unless you plan to upgrade later anyway, Might as well go with zero awg right off the bat

    I'd do 0 gauge...give you some headroom for more upgrades...but 4 gauge will work if you can't get 0 awg

    First off what kind of amp is it. How long will the power wire need to be run?

    It also depends on how long the wire run will be as well.
