I know I am going to catch Hell about this from people that don't understand where I am coming from, but you actually want a heavier gauge wire for the same length of run, for the same power thant you do for a mib-bass speaker. If you are running active and have a long run all the way back to the trunk, it can't hurt to go ahead and use 12 AWG. If you want a better explination as to why the smaller speaker needs more wire, PM me and I can fill you in

Are you hinting at higher frequencies generating a greater skin effect.... ?

Id like to see this.

 
1000 points to Flex. Depending on the wire though you could get laminated strands which will help cut this down.

EDIT: I noticed I wrote 12 AWG in the first post, for 60 Watts, you should be fine with 16. Sorry about that

Need some advice with wiring
Signal flow should be HU to DSP to amps. You would lose the ability to EQ and time align the sub with the DSP unit if you bypassed the DSP.

Right. Many do By-pass the parking system activation.
