    hi, the recommended power wire sizing chart is what you need to see:
    http://www.the12volt.com/info/recwirsz.asp

    the two main considerations are:
    1- length of run
    2- how much current (amps) you are running over that length.

    you would need to know some basic electronics equations. but to quickly answer your question, assuming you are drawing 350watts over 12 feet, you would need a 4ga cable.

    and that same 4ga would be enough for your future needs even if you double the power draw (by adding another MRP-M350 amplifier)

    8 gauge is fine if youre asking about power and ground.

    16 gauge is fine if youre asking about speaker wire.
