should i upgrade my speaker wire.

[timaishu 10+ year member]

I drive a ford taurus and I believe the speaker wire is 18 or 22 guage. Its pretty ****ing thin. Anyways, I have a pair of mach5 mli-65s coming in a few days and Im thinking about bridging the front and rear channels of my amp to get 120x2 RMS at 4 ohms.

Normally it puts out 50x4 RMS at 4 ohms

Would that be too much for my crappy speaker wires to handle? Or will it work okay?

Good answer. Can't go wrong with the upgrade.

Where can I get wire that cheap?

I may as well do the wire upgrade. My car isnt very complicated. Only part I imagine being troublesome is running it throught the doors rubber boot.
