what size wire for door speakers 12g,14g, 16 g

[Jimg]

putting a set of component speakers in the doors ,  focal iss 130 component speakers,     probably going to run a 100x4 amp at 4ohm   just turn down the gain a little

putting a 2nd set of focal iss165 components with the 6 1/2 in the lower part of the door with running the tweeters somewhere on the dash

what size wire is recommended from running to the speakers from the amp

the  length of each  wire run should be around 12-14 feet from the amp in the back of the trunk to the door speakers 

using ofc copper wire      is 12g overkill ,  would 14g, or 16g be just fine.

Stock wiring would be ok too. 16ga max though.

16 gauge is good all around for normal aftermarket setups.

You'd need 250w+ to push the limit of 16 awg.
