[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8793992, member: 682903"] If it’s a real 600 watts, then 4 gauge for power wire. 6 gauge at the very least, but I’d just go with 4. 12 gauge would be good if you want to use it for the speakers, but you could use 16 gauge with that setup and be fine. Or even 14 if you wanted to settle in between. That’s pretty low power though and I’d personally just use 16 gauge wire, unless I already had a spool of the 12. [/QUOTE]
