Is the gauge size of speaker wire important?
To carry an amplified signal, speaker wire needs adequate thickness. Because cable thickness is measured in gauge, the gauge size of the wire is important to take into consideration. The American Wire Gauge (AWG) uses lower numbers to indicate thicker wire and higher numbers to indicate thinner wire, so be sure to check the AWG size when choosing your wire.
