12 - 14 gauge is the common sizes for connecting subs. 24 seems a bit on the small side. it will work, but i would upgrade. speaker wire is cheap. maybe $10 for acouple feet of good 12 gauge wiring.

hope that helps.

and ignore the comment left by that other guy.

IT DEPENDS ON THE WATTS IF YOUR AMP IS OVER 400 WATTS
THEN YOU NEED 4GA

- dude. 4 gauge speaker wire?
  
  no. 4 gauge wiring should be used for power and ground if the amp is over 400 watts. not the speaker wire. i dont even think you could fit 4awg wiring into the speaker terminals on the amp or the sub box.
