What guage of wire do you suggest?

I'm going to be running a RF 400.4, 160.2, and 500.2? Insane yes but im not using deck power. These are not Power line amp just Punch line. What would you suggest as the main feeder. All the amps take a 8AWG wire.

400.4 is for my front stage.
160.2 is for rear fill.
500.2 is for Subs.

Don't argue just need to know what i want to know.

I would run 2gauge from the battery to a Distribution Block and 8 for the rest.

Sweet. Thats kinda what i thought it would be. I think i will go with a 1/0 for extra insurance of future upgrades. Now to figure out how im going to get it from my battery through the interior without it looking like there's a dead snake under my carpet!
