i'm planning a system and need help with size suggestions for the speaker wires:

all 4 speakers are Alpine r type components: 70W RMS 350 peak

they will run off of 2 alpine amps (one front one rear) bridged to push 200W per chammel @ 4 ohms

1 sub is Alpine SWR 1242D

the sub is running off a 500W x1 at 4 ohm Rockford amp

any suggestions?

you can never have too much of a good thing

...not even TOUCHIN' this one... speaker wire size - Last Post -- posted image.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Yes, please search this forum as it's been gone over many times. FWIW, I never use larger than 16 guage as it's not worth the extra expense.
