Default What gauge for 2x600 RMS amps?

What gauge electrical wire do you recommend for the electrical input into each of these?
What gauge speaker wire do you recommend for the the one that will push one speaker at 600RMS?
What gauge speaker wire for the one that will push two speakers?

Thanks

If you plan to go with a lot higher wattage amps in the future I'd go ahead and run 1/0 gauge power wire, otherwise 4 gauge should be fine for the power wire.
For the ground wire use 4 gauge.
10-12 gauge for the speaker wire.
