subwoofer speaker cables under the house

I am having subwoofer speaker cables run thru the wall behind my rack, under the house (on a crawl space) and then up thru the wall behind subwoofers. One run will be around 20 feet, and the other around 40 feet. Looking for recommendations on moderately priced cables, untermiated.

Subs are a pair of Levinson Sub15s running off a Levinson LE-1 sub amp. Sometimes late at night the floor trembles...


Thanks

14 gauge minimum should do it - 12 gauge if you are fanatical.

I third Blue Jean cables - listen to this advice as this is a no - brainer. Killer sub cable for very cheap.

Cost per value blue jeans cables. 12 or 14 guage. If you want to go a little high Kimber makes some nice 12/4 speaker cable I run alot of. This is a must - Keep the speaker cables the same length though. Changing the length effects the sound a little so you want both speaker wiires at 40' so they have the same resistance etc.
