Speaker wire guide

Can anyone explain to me, or send me a link to somewhere that can explain what size speaker wire to use in what applications? Does it matter what gauge wire I use from my sub to my amp? For example what gauge would I use for 400w rms? Basically if someone could send me a scale of the power handling of the different gauges and when to use them I would be forever grateful.
