[QUOTE="req, post: 564010, member: 555713"] you might. and you might not. it all depends, but i have knukoncept rca's and they work fine. (the twisted blue\clear ones) and i have schoshe wire from walmart. (for my component amp) wire = wire however "better" wire is SOFT CORE and has as many strands of wire as possible. it will also be copper that is 'tinned' with some kind of metal that oxidizes slower- such as.. well. tin (i think... maybe its a different metal) so silver wire that is copper inside is better than pure copper wire - this is refeering to the power\ground\speaker wire. so if you have a choice over tinned and non-tinned. choose tinned and if you have a choice between soft and hard wire, choose soft. and if you have a choice about # of strands. choose more. other than that. it dosnt really matter, and those options dont really matter too much eaither. i used hard core wire that only had about 10 strands for my speaker wire for almost a year (non-tinned) and it worked fine. it was just a pain in the *** to solder and hook to anything, because the ends kept breaking and i had to re-strip them. have fun =) scoshe 8awg should be good up to ~500w. 500~1000 i would go with 4awg, 1000~1500 i would go with 2awg, and if possible 1000+ 1\0 awg. thats just a rough estimate =) good luck.
