4 guage i ran it on the side of the car. Just remove the door sill triming and put it under but with 0, i'm not sure cause they're huge. I heard shops putting wire lum on it and run it under the car.

Well I ran the RCA's and remote, and the big mofo wire today, went down the side like most people do when installing something. Worked out fine, now If I can just finish with this shyt, there is always something Im missing, as in butt connectors for the terminals... What a LONG day. Ima post pics of the setup when finish if anyone cars.
