For your main power wire I would recommend 10 gauge at the least to ensure the system is getting enough power. Also, running thinner wire (high number) can ultimately melt due to the amplifier drawing more current than that particular gauge allows. Melted wires can cause major problems.

Edit:
0 and 4 gauge will be overkill for this particular setup. Unless you plan on a major future upgrade then don't worry about the hassle of installing such thick wiring.

Anyone give instructions on how to install an aftermarket deck into 2001 Grand Prix. Time? Level of Difficulty

Well it all depends on how large your input holes are on your amp. I personally like to use 4 gauge wire, but if your amp can handle it and you dont mind spending a little bit more, I would recomend 0 gauge for your subs.

Should I replace my sub with components?

you want to run 4 gauge
with all power wire you will lose some power through the length
if you run anything less than 4 gauge your amp wont be performing to its max
and from the amp to the subs you should do no less than 12gauge
