Speaker Cable

What type of wiring would be best to run from the front of the car to power 2 12's and a 600 watt amp.

Thanks in advance

What kind of amp? Boss makes a 600 watt amp that would work just fine with 10 gauge, but if it says Kicker or Rockford on it, 4 gauge or bigger is in order. What size fuse is on the amp?
