For 2 Killovolts I'd use a 2 or 0ga split into 2 4ga. Make sure to get a 2 farad capacitor for those amps...

Your amps should have 4ga pwr/grd inputs....

What kind of amps..??

More important than the advertised watts, what is the amperage of the fuses for the amps? And where is the amp for the mids and highs? I won't give an answer for the first question if you don't have an amp for the mids and tweets. It would go against my morals.

UMMMM Soundstorm??? Yea uhhh youd be fine with 4gauge runnin to your block and then 8s to your amps. If that. That will be fine for your couple of hundred watts that you will get.
