Thanks Stan.

First of all, 300 watts RMS refers to the audio output from the amplifier and/or the rating of the loudspeaker. It bears no relation to the wiring size you are seeking for the DC power supply.

The Edge website gives no technical data whatsoever which is very unsatisfactory. Is there not a label on the unit giving the power consumption at 12v DC either in amps or watts? Failing that you'll have to guess.

Forget about AWG. We do not live in America! Look at this long established company based in the UK and select from their range of cables. The 25 amp cable should be more than enough, allowing for long cable runs and over-engineering.
