first thing you should do before worrying about wire gauge is getting a new high output alternator.

Come on man. Read the rules. Do your own homework. No one wants to do the work and research for you.

Search the forum - there is a plethora of information available and GOOGLE as well.

1/0 is the wire gauge you need. A new alternator is probably not necessary if you are just listening to music daily. If you plan to compete playing test tones all day, yes, you need a new alternator.

no need for a high output alt

im running a nine.1(1400rms/120amps) and a alpine 4 chan amp (300rms/30amps)

no dimming

run a good ground and you will have no issues

more then likely you will be fine with 4ga. 4ga can handle up to 130amps

0ga more than 300amps.
