What gauge should the turn on lead be coming from the head unit to the amp for the best performance?

18 gauge should be fine. It just needs a signal to tell it to turn on

I would say between 14-16 guage. That should be plenty, you'll probably be able to get away with 18 guage.

I use 16 ga. Mainly because its what I have always used, but 18ga will work just fine. I wouldnt go any smaller than 18ga, and I definately wouldnt go any bigger than 16ga. Anything bigger than 16 will just be overkill, and quite frankly a waste of money.
