[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 6959026, member: 576029"] larger wire size means lower resistance which yields lower voltage drop which means more power to your speakers. keep wires as short as possible - or up-size for longer runs. re-wiring door speakers is just time consuming - probably 30 min. each door if everything goes well and you've done doors before. double that for a learning curve. you need to zip tie the new wire to factory wiring every 6-8". have plenty of zip ties on hand. you can route speaker wiring down each side. speaker wires aren't as sensitive to electrical noise in a car. i usually route RCA cables down the middle, but you won't get noise induced in RCA cables either.
