G35 Coupe Amp Kit: 500/1 & 300/4
#2
my understanding is the lower (2g) is always better. it allows for more current in order to achieve full potential on those amps. some people might tell you it's an overkill (plus it's more expensive). the best way to think about it is:
a) pretend you have a very thin (coffee) straw. how much and how fast can you drink?
b) pretend you have a very thick (slurpee) straw. how much and how fast can you drink?
this was told to me one time, and i think it makes a lot of sense. hope it helps.

Don't use 8awg for your main power run whatever you do. You need at least 4awg also make sure that it's real 4awg. MANY companies "underguage" their wire which is a fancy way of saying they lie. If the amp kit seems like a great deal it's probably under guaged or worse copper clad aluminum. The price of copper is what drives the price of wire and wire kits so there is only so much you can save before performance is seriously degraded.

But I understand that a 500w amp should be fine with 8ga wire.
