How many feet of speaker wire?

[KawRider]

Im installing seperates in the front doors of my Mitsu EVO and 2 ways in the trunk. About how many feet of speaker wire would you guys reccomend?

I live in the middle of nowhere so that's why I need a good ballpark.

Also is streetwires 14GA pretty good for a fairly low power system?

Thanks,

Tim

if can do an ebay search for monster 16 gauge, there are friendly sellers if you give a serious offer

buy a roll. It always sucks to run out in mid car and have to butt connect to some other kind

Where will the crossovers be mounted for your front comps? Are you going to be using an external amp? If so, where will it be mounted?

its like askin what size shoe i need, get a good size role of speaker wire, and use what you need for your car. and where things will be placed. streetwires, stinger. etc. are all good brands, 14 should be fine.

You shouldn't need anything more than 16gauge...

16ga will be pefectly fine if your just wiring speakers. but subwoofers..diff story.

where is the amp located?

will you run the wire behind the headunit or behind the door panels/direct to speakers?

if your just installing speakers and no amp, forget about it and use the factory wiring thats their.
