The cable does matter, but thickness isn't everything. For a powered sub, you aren't driving much current down the line, so you don't need something fat enough to actually drive the speaker current. Parasitic capacitance matters less since you're only sending bass anyway, so losing high frequencies isn't such a big deal. You do want it to have decent shielding though or you'll pick up mains hum. You want decent quality signal cable, but you don't have to worry about power handling or high-frequency falloff too much.
