Please pay attention to what forum you're posting in, this goes in Audio.

That being said, what is your current setup?

Your door speakers are 5x7/6x8 (which you could have found in the Audio FAQ).

You can use the stock speaker wiring, but the convenience of doing so if affected by where you want to put the amp. Just wondering, did you have a stock and and did you bypass it? If yes and no, you need to do so.

You'll find wiring for all the speakers at the HU (obviously), factory amp, or the passenger kick panel. If you want to run wires from your new amp to any of these locations you can reuse the stock wiring. Though it may just be easier to run new wiring to each corner.

16 ga would be plenty.
