[QUOTE="Jazz, post: 6231032, member: 580828"] Hi I was planning to run 16 gauge speaker wire for my install. The new speakers that i purchased came with around 12 inches of wire already terminated with the speaker connectors and a clear rubber cap that covers the connector, it looks really well done and clean. The problem is that this wire has "0.3 sq mm" written on it which i believe is 22 gauge. I wanted to run 16 gauge. I imagine that it is not possible to use a butt connector to connect the 22 gauge to 16 gauge, right? So what is my best option here? It is my first install and i would prefer to use butt connectors instead of solder. Thanks for any help. J [/QUOTE]
