0 gauge speaker wire?? or u talking about power to the amps??? 0 gauge is for like 200 amps, twice more than youll ever need most id say u'd need for a sub would be 12gauge and thats assuming you're giving it like 1kw of REAL rms.

Just go to autobarn or a car audio shop and ask for wires to run your subwoofer... They will know exactly what you are after. 0-guage is some pretty thick ass wire. And is only used for big powered amps. Its like 15mm thick wire alone.
