Question:

subwoofer speaker wires?

when installing two subwoofers to an amp, can just normal speaker wires work or do I need any special wires to hook the subs to the amp?

Answer:

speaker wires will do just fine
regular speakwires WILL work but my advice to you is if you have a lot of watts going into the sub then use thicker wire.
12 gg or 14 gg is ok for normal use for best performance use 8gg or 6gg wire depending on wether you are running them single or doubled up IE; Bridging amp amp+ to sp1+ amp- to sp1 - or amp+ to sp1+ to sp2+ amp- to sp1 - to sp2- Will give you 2 ohm if your amp is 2 ohm stable or Recommended for best sound Quality amp+ to sp1+ sp1- to sp2+ sp2- to amp- Will give you 8 ohm and Peak at 4 ohm at max power Are your subs single or dual voice coil
Actually, 16g can literally handle thousands of watts. Use 18 or 16g, anything larger than that is a waste of money
yea any wire would work but if u prefer better sound then you would wanna use a better wire witch will cost you more.
