[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 7092323, member: 624844"] Also, the longer the wire run, the heavier the gauge needs to be. For runs over 10-15 feet, I would always use 12-16 gauge speaker wire. For runs over 20-30 feet, it would be best to drop down to 12-gauge. The average headunit only puts out about 22-watts RMS per channel, if that, not really much need to go above 16-gauge speaker wire, same for power and ground. [/QUOTE]
