[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8169798, member: 614752"] [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=12"]#12[/URL] is more than adequate for all speaker wire at nearly any power level. Buy a big *** roll on eBay for cheap and have enough to add as needed. Buy a decent size length of 1/0 gauge.... keep it longer than you need with some coiled up under a seat. I've had the same primary 1/0 gauge through my last 4 vehicles now (along with the same 6 channel RCA). Why upgrade alternator until needed? You could total the car next week and be out 400$.... ditto with battery. Not like they're on sale now or something and if what you have works, why mess with it until you need more? They, unlike wire, do have a limited lifespan. Really, buying a bulk size of speaker wire is never a bad investment, running a couple extra lengths when you have the seats and carpet out isn't a huge investment, and 1/0 gauge wire, if you keep it long should last for decades even in different cars.
