How much power would you be sending it? Generally 14 gauge is all you really need for most applications. With 1000 rms and up, at least 12 gauge.

12 will do just fine. 10 would be really a little too large and unnecessary. 14 is okay as long as it is shorter (not like 6 feet long). 12 would be safest.
