subs? or just door speakers? I kno with all my sub set ups I run 0 gauge cable I've used 2 gauge wire before and had problems with the subs cutting out. i guess it all depends on what kind of speakers your talking about, in door speakers I cant hear a difference

This is the facts here. You do not need 0 Gauge wire to your subs. 14 to 12 gauge will suffice.

If you are running a lot of current/amperage. The gauge of wire is also dependent on how long the run of wire is and how much current is going through it. You can drop a gauge if your wire is say 6 feet instead of 12 feet. There is a electricians table for current and wire gauge with the variations in length mixed in on the internet somewhere. Should be easy to find.
I am doing 400 watts and only using 4 gauge wire for power wire. My amp is a high current amp also. The amp can do 800 watts and I got that 4 gauge wire because it would handle the 800 watts the amp was rated for.
