I was wondering what size wires to run to my sub amp, its a Kicker 1200x1

I was thinking a 4 gauge... but maybe 2, or would that be too thick?

4 guage should be the answer. 2 guage i would recommend for a very big install. 2 guage is also more difficult to run. i ran 4 in my car and it was no picnic.

send pics of install

Holy crap batman, that amp has a 150-amp fuse. According to Kicker, they recommend 1/0 for that amp. At minimum, you need to run at least 4-gauge, but I recommend at least 2-gauge. All I can say is that is one awesome amp. Lots of power.
