Speaker wires for mids, I will run them off deck power.
Speaker wires for subs

Fuse and how many amps

MTX 6000 series subs 250 watt RMS 500 watt Max 4 Ohms

1) use 4 gauge ( up to 1600 watts they say)for upgrades later and 20 feet should be good
2) your amps should tell you what size fuse to use and depending on the amp wattage you can get away with 1 amp so long as it has all connections you can always add another later and use the one you have now for midrange
3) remote i use 12 gauge
4) rca's i usually buy the pre cut stuff but they look like 12 or 14 gauge
