What gauge of speaker wire would be best to use on this speakers?

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.

The old fashioned speaker wire works just fine. You can use banana plugs or screw tighten the copper wire.

I would suggest using the same gauge low voltage speaker wire that came with the speakers or better yet a little larger gauge wire ( lower gauge number (#14) is a larger wire & less resistance than (#16) if you are going a very long distance between the speakers. I have not purchased a spool for a while but standard #16 gauge insulated wire will probably do what you need and Amazon or Wal-Mart probably has a 100 ft. spool available online or in the store. Hope this helps!

That's a somewhat unusual speaker impedance. Your best bet is to consult the speaker manufacturer for their recommendation. However, you should be fine with 14 AWG for a run of up to 50'. 12 AWG gets rather expensive.

You can use 14 or 16 AWG speaker wire. I used 14 AWG plastic coated wire from Monoprice. Copper wire is best. http://www.monoprice.com/Product?seq=1&fo;rmat=2&p;_id=2791&kpid;=2791&CAWELAID;=1329459423&CAGPSPN;=pla&catargetid;=320013720000063196&cadevice;=c&gclid;=CL7F3MGko8ICFdKEfgodOIkARA

I honestly don't know, but the wire they give you is a really small gauge and most audiophiles will tell you to get something bigger. I think I ended up buying 16 or 14 gauge.

I would use 16 gauge. A Polk subwoofer would be a good match. If you need stands, the Sanus ones work great.

Sure , nothing special about this wire. It is just the correct gauge for all of the accessories and connectors. You could use this wire for speakers but you cannot use speaker wire for the leds because speaker wire is stranded while this is solid wire.

Thanks, I have bought 100ft mediabridge 16 gauge speaker wires. And was reading comments that for better sound quality and no loss, better to use end connectors as exposed wires can result in short circuit. I dont entirely agree with that, but wanted to confirm with people who have already installed speaker systems.

My speakers have the near same 87dB, 8 Ohm, with 16G wire to them with 25 foot of wire so I hooked them together and ran it to one speaker and it sounded just the same. I think 16G wire will be just fine for your situation.

I used 14g because I did not run them more than 20 ft from the source. I looked up the recommended wire size in a chart I found by searching the internet for speaker wire recommendations.

I have this speaker-amp combination. If the banana plugs fit, your speaker wire choice looks great.

Hi,What do you mean standard speaker wire? if you use a bigger wire than original is better for the signal.

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

The speaker plugs are spring loaded, so use bare wire. 12 or 14 AWG works well.

the output wires to the speakers are normal speaker wire, your choice of guage 12-14 would be ok the inputs are 1/4 inch depending on application mono or stereo. I have 2 - 2000's and 1 - 4000 amp in a stereo app and i use these. look here http://www.behringer.com/assets/EP2000_P0A38_M_EN.pdf

Any wire will do. I ordered the gold pin connectors and found them difficult to keep attached. I used regular speaker wire and it works just fine.
