What gauge speaker wire do you guys use for your door speakers and subs?

i ahve 12 to the sub and 16 to the speakers as well.

14-16 on speakers. 12 is overkill but works fine.

12-8 on subs. 12 is obviously on the low end.

Depends on how much power your running //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Section 16 has some great calculators that will tell if your wire is too small
