To determine the appropriate wire size for a 2500-watt amplifier, you need to consider both the current draw and the length of the wire run. Typically, a 2500-watt amp running on a 12-volt system will draw approximately 208 amps at full power. For wire runs up to about 20 feet, you would generally need 0-gauge (1/0 AWG) wire to safely handle the current and minimize voltage drop. Always consult the amplifier's manual and local electrical codes for specific recommendations.
