I know this is an old post but it might help others to know that the skinny wire that comes with the system works just fine.

I would recommend 4 gauge for the power wire just in case you decide to change your amplifier you will not have to go back and run over the wires. However this is not a very powerful amplifier and I strongly suggest putting the extra money and buying a better amplifier. What are the 12" subs are you going to use?

I used standard 16 gauge wire. Note if distance is more than 50 feet you should use 12 gauge for better sound.

16 gauge is sufficient, we would recommend however to check into the power amp that is driving that speaker for clarity.

I had to use 16 gauge because I had to feed four sets of wire through a very narrow space....speakers sound great. If you can use thicker, you should.

You can actually buy 24gauge speaker wire and simply cut and splice both the positive and the negative ends. That wire can easily be found at Fry's Electronics.

Im sure that the speaker wires in your walls are of better quality than the ones that are supplied with the unit. usually the ones they send with the unit with what you would call starter wires. i always upgrade my wires with at least 16 gauge name brand wires . Such as monster cable.

4 gauge is best for power and ground, for your speakers, regular speaker wire. These wires are the same for most amps I've used.

If you download the manual off of the pioneer website, page 11 will tell you the gauges for all the cabling required. The power wiring gauge is according to max possible length and a recommendation for gauge. I just used 4 gauge for my setup. The speaker wire ranges from 8-16 gauge. I used 16 gauge as part of the wiring kit I bought.

Hello M Kress: The manufacturers include 11ft of wire. This can be increase to a longer one or much longer one if needed. We recommend 16gauge or 14 gauge outdoor speaker wire. IT has come to our attention from the manufacturer that in future versions they will include 15 feet of wire.

I used 16 gauge. I actually bought 100ft of 16 gauge and it was more than enough for my 15x20 ft living room where I have my speakers installed

You need speaker wire and a sub woofer cable. Monoprice m great speaker wire for the money. I assume you have an amp?

I used standard 16 gauge which ran about 25 ft per speaker. They are rears. If you really want to go all out, try Monster Cable.

you can use any gauge. I used 12, he only thing is it doesn't fit in a groove the speakers have in the back, but you still can't see the cable from the front.

I also purchased this, one of the items frequently purchased with the speakers: http://www.amazon.com/RCA-AH16100SR-16-Gauge-Speaker-Wire/dp/B0029HHIDY/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_y

Any speaker wire cable will do, however if you are putting this speaker a long distance from the source(receiver) you should use a thicker gage wire. But some banana plug ends for easy connection to the speakers.
