i use metal clothes hangers. they are solid and can withstand the abuse of wattage. don't forget to wire up a cap. will makes for the loud.

dont forget to have atleast 2 shirts hangin from the hangers inside the box for good conductivity.

But, someone dude use copper rods once.

It looked BALLER.

But, depending on how much power, nearly any size will do fine. In most applications, the amp is closed to the sub, thus the wire doesn't need to be that thick. However, speakers work of volts more than amps, and bigger wire gauge is necessary for more amps. Wire can withstand an incredible amount of volts, however.
