What is difference between speaker wire 12, 14 and 16 gauge?
the difference is the thickness of the wire. the lower the number the thicker the wire. Generally if you have wire runs under 40ft 16 gauge will be sufficient. If you have wire runs longer than that then you would need a thicker wire….14 gauge up to 100ft, 12 gauge anything over 100ft All you need to do to connect the wire is remove the plastic shielding that covers the wire, and then i normally twist the strands together, then just connect them to your speakers and receiver.
