Hi, I am running 2 10" Infinity subs that are 250 rms and 1000 watt
peak off of a 600 watt amp. Now my question is what guage should i
run from the amp to the subs? I am looking at the terminals on the
speaker and from the two terminals to the actual cone is a very thin
wire. Now I have 12 guage lying around from when I installed my home
theater, should I use thicker or would that suffice? I am new to this
and have no idea obviously. Thanks!

Seth!

12 gauge should be just fine

will show you decibel loss for a given wattage/length of wire/gauge/ohm
