I'm grounding my amp i have a piece of 0 gauge power wire left and want to know if i can use that. Or do i have to buy 0 gauge ground wire, i also want to ground my head unit i was told to ground it with atleast 16 gauge is this correct.

Wire is wire. The only difference between "power" and "ground" wire is the color.
