What gauge to use amp=sub

[IowaBoomer 10+ year member]

Hey guys, have a quicky for ya.

On a JL 12W3 (D6), running from a 250a2 RF amp, wired at 1.5 ohms parralel bridged, what guage of speaker wire should I be running from the amp to the sub. I think I am using around 18 gauge now, and I seriously doubt it's ability to carry all 340+ watts to the sub.

Any help is appreciated.

I cant give ya the technical answer but im sure some1 will //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif but wire is cheap and I always use 12 ga. to my subs, looks better 2 and better insulation and transfer.
