Amperes
The unit of measure for current or electrical "flow" through a circuit. It is commonly abbreviated as "amp" and should not be confused with the word "amplifier," which is also commonly abbreviated as "amp."
Cable Gauge Selection Chart

To determine the approximate current draw (in amperes) of your amplifier (or amplifiers), you must calculate first the total power of each amp,If you have multiple amps, add up the total power figures to arrive at a grand total. Next, double your grand total power figure. Then, divide by 13.8.
 
The resulting figure is your system's approximate current draw. Compare this number to the numbers in the "Amperes" column in the chart below. Cross-reference with the cable length (the distance from your battery to the amp mounting location) to determine which gauge of cable you need.
 
YOU MAY NEED TO DOUBLE UP THE WIRES DEPENDING ON YOUR BIG OLE AMP.
