[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8925294, member: 689267"] For runs of 20 ft or less, anything over 16-gauge OFC wire is kind of overkill for midbass, mids, or tweeters. Truth be, for subwoofer runs of 6' or less, a 2k amp to subs only really needs 10-12 gauge, it's not like you're running serious current. That said, if you don't have the wire yet, I've had good luck with this wire, and aside from the current build that has a lot of exposed wire (Audtek and Knukonceptz colored twisted pair), I've used this wire pretty much for everything.
