Best Amp wires?
What brand is the best?

What gauge should I use w 500-1000 watt amp? I'm guessing 0-4

You can spend a lot on wire, however in my experience Knu Konceptz or Kicker are the best bang for your buck. 4 gauge will suffice nicely, just make sure to match the fuse of your amp with the fuse of your wire.

4 awg should be fine, but if you're planning to upgrade stuff later on, I'd fork out the extra money for 0 awg.

Agreed...think of what you may want to do in the future. This way you deal with the power cable once.

I like using Knukonceptz.

I agree with the welding wire but as long as the strand count is high and the wire is copper it really matters not. Welding wire is just cheaper
