I was thinking 12 but would be interested to see what others say since I haven't set mine up yet.

12awg is the best IMO, big but not too big so you can still flex the wire a little.

Depends on the output of the amp and the distance from the amp to the sub. 12 ga. will work for most applications.

I used 10awg as well.

But BGStewart is right.. There really isn't a generic answer.
