What size wire from alternator to battery?

What size wire are you guys running from alternator output back to the junction block or battery? I have all fusible link wire about 2 ft. long and has done just fine for the past 2 years running 2 Viair 480's comps. and 500 watt amp. I'm not sure what size alternator I have though.
