Product Description

What size speaker wire do I need?

• For most low power home or car speakers (not subwoofers) 18 gauge (18AWG) is fine. 18AWG wire is good for about 50 watts for 4 ohms and 100 watts for 8 ohm loudspeakers up to 50 feet (15 m) or 100 feet (30 m) respectively.
• For higher power systems or longer lengths, 16 gauge is a great choice.
• For longer lengths (50-100ft)/(15-30.5m) you'll need to go up 2 gauges (14 ga.) to avoid losing power. Very long lengths of speaker wire lose a bit of power over the long distance due to resistance. Using larger wire can help reduce or avoid this. (Use my speaker wire calculator to make it easy)
• A higher speaker impedance value (ex.: 6 or 8 ohm speakers) draws less current (lower amps) than lower impedance speakers. Therefore you often can use a thinner wire for them as you'll see.

Simple "everyday" wire size table

Wire Size	Recommended For
18 AWG	Car and home speakers up to 25 ft with average power levels (50W RMS and below).
16 AWG	Longer speaker runs for car & home stereo speakers or short runs under 20 ft for 75-100W. Moderate power subwoofers (under 225W) with short lengths.
14 AWG	Long (100ft+) speaker runs or higher power applications such as high-power 2 or 4 ohm subwoofers with a short length.

How to find the correct size wire for ANY length or speaker system

What gauge is speaker wire? (Wire size and wire gauge explained)

Speaker wire doesn't have just one size (gauge) - it's standardized and based on the American Wire Gauge (AWG) chart which lists standard sizes using a number.
