According to the wire sticky in the electrical section. Although the ratings are at 20' for a reference.Basing this off what?
16 gauge: ~8.7 amperes
8 ohms -
6 ohms -
4 ohms -
3 ohms -
2 ohms -
1 ohm -
12 gauge: ~21.8 amperes
8 ohms -
6 ohms -
4 ohms -
3 ohms -
2 ohms -
1 ohm -
I say 12 gauge because daily on music is so dynamic that it'll average probably around 350-400w in terms of the heating ability of the current passing through the wires.
