running too big of a wire is no harm, only in cost. and its not nessecarly(sp) better sound. using the right size wire will just provide the amp with enough juice.
100w amps wont need that thick of a cable. and the size of the amps AND the length of the cable will determine the size.
theres a really good chart around the internet and shows all this.
but with a 100w amp 8 gauge is more than enough, 10 might even do, but i dont like anything smaller than 8.
