4 ga will work great for that. I'm running 775 watts RMS through 4 ga and I don't get any dimming on any of my lights. I wouldn't suggest going any smaller though.

4 gauge sounds good to me [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] It will also give you some head room for future upgrades [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I'd say 1/0 gauge all the way. Just in case you have some mad revelation one morning. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
