Yeah.. get at least 4 gauge cables, I myself went with 2 gauge. I like the ones with the clear rubberized coating. This way you can see the copper wires inthe cable.

the bigger the wire, the better current flow you get. 2 gauge or 0 gauge is best to be a logical choice. people think 0 gauge is not flexible but if you buy the kicker wire, it flexes like its 8 gauge of anything else.
