i don't mind that 16 guage from wally world and what not.

I use that on my lower powered installs.

If your looking for beefy stuff knukonceptz is the way to go.

There's no danger in using to thick a gauge correct, it's just more difficult to install?

correct....

its like trying to pump 1 gallon per minute through a 5 foot radius pipe, more or less.

it won't hurt anything, just eventually its stupid to use anything larger...

Don't buy 16 for subs, imo. Go with atleast 14.

Pick however much you want to spend. You could get some nice ones like knukonceptz wires or you can get some regular ones from wal-mart and be a lot more convenient.
