Answer 1

Why not ask this question in the right area, and not car audio.

Just so that you know, 12 gauge wire should be fine. That is what I used to wire a pair up before and wire never even got warm.  

Answer 2

you might actually want to run a relay setup so you don't burn out your toggle switch. relays are a couple bucks each and the guys at your local Advance Auto or Auto Zone can help you out with that.. it would take about seven paragraphs to explain how to wire up said relay setup, but it will be a heck of a lot easier on your switch and wiring system.

12 gauge wire will run it perfectly, but honestly i would really consider running a relay setup.

Answer 3

yea it looks good an the wire will work fine maybe go bigger if it dosnt cause to much probloms
