i have 10 gauge running from my amp to my sub and then 10gauge on the sub itself. i did notice better sound from the sub but it certainly wasnt louder. and it wasnt the "well its bigger so it has to do something feeling" scine ive done it on all my friends cars and it was the same way. ill never use less than 12gauge on a subwwofer system again.

I personally prefer this site: http://www.bcae1.com/wire.htm

With 18 awg wire 10 feet long and 600 watts going through it, there will be a loss of .27db, .54 db at 2 ohms.  This is completely inaudible.
