[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8567746, member: 650438"] I wouldnt worry about the speaker wire too much at all, its not gonna make any difference in sound AT ALL, zero, nada. Neither are you gonna hear a difference between OFC and CCA, however ofc will last longer and is less susceptible to corrosion. Your alpine wont draw enough current to even come close to maxing out the wires thermally as long as its actual 4 gauge. As for speaker wire, unless your factory wire is like 28 gauge or something, i wouldn't bother. Soundqubed Q mat is no different than stinger thickness and aluminium backing wise, its a lot more expensive as well, just looks cool. You will hear zero difference between factory 18 gauge vs 12 gauge especially with only 100 watts. I'm running 450 watts per speaker and have noticed zero difference between 12 and 16 gauge.
