Run 4 gauge for the power and 16 gauge for the speakers & then run 4 gauage for the ground as well. Use a distibution block to split the gauges to 8 gauge to the amps from the 4 gauge from the battery.

I know that Speaker gauge wire. - Last Post -- posted image.

. 16 gauge for the speaker is more than enough. You can go with whatever you want but anything larger I think is over kill for your system and a waste of money.
