i would recomend 16 gauge wire for your remote wire that leads to your amp, 12 gauge wire to hook your speakers up to your amp, and 8 gauge wire to hook up the battery and the ground wire to your amp.

14 gauge for speakers and 12gauge for subs. These can all vary depending on how powerful your system is but will work fine for you.

16 awg is fine for those low power amps. lightnig audio is fine. wal-mart will have good deals on other wire as well.
