yah i think 0 would really be overkill you should go with 4 or if you want bigger but i think any smaller than 4 would cut back on power

I would have to say 2-4 gauge because I was running 0 for 1200 watts.

For one amp 4 gauge all the way through.
Two or more, 0 gauge to a distribution for 4 gauge to the amps.

Bleh he isnt drawing to much power.... I think an 8 gauge wire could run power to that amp just fine....
