I'd like to retract my opinion about 8ga to the subs.... Well, edit my opinion really... Use NO SMALLER than 8ga. If the terminals don't accept 8ga, get better subs or rip that shit off and go with direct leads. Other than that, use the biggest wire that will fit.

I knew the answer before the thread finished opening. Biggest size wire the speaker will take or the biggest wire available.

you can do as thick as you want, just remember, you hit a point where your doing huge thick wiring for speakers that will never get close to those limits, and your runs arnt gonna be that long, so if you go to thick its just extra weight and wasted wire, 16 gauge takes care of most things up to 100-150ish watts, maybe a bit more, and for subs you cant go wrong going thick, with 10 gauge, it will handle more then enough
