What would the proper wire guage be from a Crossfire VR1000d to my FI Q12d2 ? The length from amp to speaker is about 4-5 ft.

why is your length from your amp to your sub is 4 to 5 ft. dude that is way too far lol i thi nk mine is like maybe 2ft if not 1ft. they say the shorter the better but that has been a rule of thumb for me now.

Drill two 1/4" holes in the outside of your box and take both positive/neg wires and put ring terminals on the ends of wires. Then put a bolt through the terminals and stick through the box with a nut on the other end. then all you have to do is connect wire to outside of box with a single wire. Here's a pic:
