yes, even 16awg woudl be fine.

so im guessing 16g is better than 14g which is better thatn 12g?

16awg is thinner than 14awg which is thinner than 12awg, as the awg goes down the thickness goes up, basically increasing the ammount of power it can transfer. People seem to think that you need thick ass wire for speakers, you dont though. 16awg will sufice for almost any case.
