It shouldn't matter too much, unless the wire from the amp to the subs is really long for some reason.

What about, if I the speaker wire fomr the sub box to the sub is 12 gauge, and from the amp to the subs is 18 guage, then it would be alot differnet. So it is better to have the same guage all around.

Unless you're sending like 3000W+ to your subs, I don't think it'll matter much. 18 gauge wire should be fine.
