[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 6805156, member: 549629"] So why didn't you use 2/0 speaker wire? Or 8/0? The truth is, anything over about 10-12ga speaker wire is completely for looks, and the lower resistance will not create any noticeable or even measurable difference in stereo performance. Remember, an amplifier amplifies voltage, and the higher the voltage, the lower line loss you get for a given wire size. This is why the input power cable is so large, but the amplifiers output speaker wire can be relatively small in comparison. Large gauge speaker wire is for people wanting to show off that they dont understand this. [/QUOTE]
