4 gauge should be MORE than adequate

you need 2 connectors for each wire (each wire has 2 ends right? )

im not sure what the best connectors are, i think gold is conductive..but i cant remember for sure

Gold is not the 'best' conductor, however it has great anti corrosion properites and is fairly ‘cheap’ for this application.
