Going to be doing the same project on my boat, where is the best place to get breaker panel, SS shore plug, and isolator?
For splices I like these, expensive but quick and sealed.

Marine wire is silver in color....
Stay away from copper wire.....no matter what.
Many manufacturers say the marine stranded is actual "silver", but it is a silver nickel compound....mostly nickel. Any way, you have been advised properly. 14ga good for 10a/15a, 12 good for 20a, 8 for 30-40 (short run) 6 for 50a, 4 for 40a and so on.....
When kit comes to amplifiers for your sound system, consider 1a for each ten watts. 1000w =100a.
