Hi Matt, 18gauge wire is safe up to 48ft long. Longer runs over 48ft will require 16gauge. The 14 gauge is a hype and I dont use it unless im running 100ft. Hope this helps.

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 honestly don't know. My son who is an electrician did the job for me. Sorry

Don't remember at the moment but the thicker the better when it comes to speaker wire!

You are right. No wires. When I bought these, I bought the wires first. Media bridge subwoofer 1-1 cable (Walmart) is the best suited for this. Though energy take subwoofer has 2 ports, you can use only left and it will work just fine. Later you can get your Y cable adapter (Frys/ Walmart). Speaker wires, you get media bridge 16 guage wires(Walmart/ Frys) I recommend 100 Ft. You should also get VideoSecu speaker holders (Amazon). NOTE: These speakers need 50 - 72 hours of usage to give optimum performance. So you may get a bit disappointed at the start but after a month, you will see the difference. Hope this helps.

I just wrapped the speaker wire around the speaker connection on my speakers, and it worked fine (I had the same issue - my amp only had RCA output but my speakers needed regular speaker wire)

I just used RCA 16 gauge speaker wire I got at Menards. Its heavy enough unless you have a long distance between the speakers and amp.

we bought new speaker wire because we didn't get any with our system. I would buy more because I think we used 100 feet of speaker wire in the basement, for this system. What you have may not be enough.

8awg power wire w/ in line 50 amp fuse from batt, 8awg ground wire at amp. All you need to do is splice your factory speaker wire from the hu to the included speaker level harness that snaps into the amp, then run wire to your speakers. I just snipped the speaker wire behind the hu, and ran two sets of wires. One ran from hu to harness at amp, other set ran back to the factory speaker wires and spliced in so I did not have to run wires to each speaker

The speaker wire I recieved was 2 conductor / 14 gauge copper from SatMaximum.

Only speaker wire. It is not very long and not an adequate length. The gage in my opinion is too thin. There are no audio cables.

Powered or non powered doesn't matter. The wire is only carrying a communication pulse to your speakers

What I did personally was solder the speaker wire to the terminals. The connectors that you would buy are a piece of trash. If you can't solder them just figure a way to tape them

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.

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

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

Garrett- I went to a local stereo shop and bought a high quality speaker wire. But any speaker wire will work. The better the quality the better the sound though. Hope this helps.

I used 16ga. Speaker wire that came on a reel. I did not use any connectors just plains ends connected to speaker and receiver. Works great.
