To determine the appropriate wire size for a 2500 watt amplifier, you need to consider the total current draw and the length of the wire run. Assuming a standard 12V car audio system, the amplifier would draw about 208 amps (2500 watts / 12 volts). For a short run (up to 10 feet), a 1/0 gauge wire is typically recommended to safely handle this current and minimize voltage drop. For longer runs, you might need to go up to 2/0 gauge to ensure safety and performance. Always consult the amplifier's manual or a professional installer for specific recommendations.
