I used bigger wire than that on my tweeters.
It'll probably be ok, but it's not like 3 feet of 12 gauge is going to break the bank.
But, more important than what the subs are "rated" at, what amp are you using to drive them?

I don't have an amp yet, my subs are rated 1200 W max, 300 W RMS

it doesn'tmatter what the subs are rated for. That's not what determines how much power flows through the wires. The amp determines that.
