Speaker wire

ReTart Unregistered guest	Posted on Monday, March 08, 2004 - 00:04 GMT The kind that conducts electricity. Just worry about the wire size and not the name. If its made out of copper or aluminum and and has good insulation, then use it.

You'd have to double the cross-sectional area relative to copper to get the same conductivity. Apple - in a car, with lengths being somewhat consistent, the general rule of thumb is 16 ga for mids/full-range and 12 ga for subs. All the other "features" are either to get you to spend more money or to look pretty (and get you to spend more money).

Anything bigger is just for show. The power cable is what matters mainly for the gauge.
