The thing is though; if your amp outputs are hitting 80V in to a 4ohm load (ignoring impedance rise etc) then only 20A would flow. 12awg can support 20A over a 14feet distance with only a 0.5V p.d. so yeh you're right, you would have to be running some serious power to warrant anything larger.
EDIT: 80V equates to around 1000W, in to a 4ohm load.
