[QUOTE="Firewalker, post: 8674933, member: 676743"] You can use factory speaker wires just fine. That stuff about not using it isn't true anymore, people do it all the time without a single problem. Right now I have about 75x4 running through mine and going to upgrade it to 100-125x4 later this year and it will still work without a problem. My '03 Explorer had OEM 16 gauge throughout the system. I then used Stinger Speed wire which has 18 gauge 8 speaker wires plus the remote turn on wire all in a nice little wire. 12 gauge is also over doing it unless you are doing something like 400 watts or something like that. Disconnect the wires from the head unit and then wire the stinger speed wire direct into the oem wiring you disconnected and you will be fine. Stinger Speed Wire is top notch wire and professional shops use it all the time to do it the way I am describing without an issue so don't buy into the can't use oem wire stuff.
