Total RMS Power (watts)	Distance
Total RMS Power (watts)	4 feet	8 feet	12 feet	16 feet	20 feet
100	10 gauge	10 gauge	8 gauge	8 gauge	4 gauge
200	10 gauge	8 gauge	8 gauge	4 gauge	4 gauge
400	8 gauge	8 gauge	4 gauge	4 gauge	4 gauge
600	8 gauge	4 gauge	4 gauge	4 gauge	4 gauge
800	4 gauge	4 gauge	4 gauge	2 gauge	2 gauge
1000	4 gauge	4 gauge	2 gauge	2 gauge	2 gauge
1400	4 gauge	2 gauge	2 gauge	2 gauge	2 gauge

I know what feet are but i have no idea what gauge is can any one convert gauge to millimeters?

Thanks Dave

there is no metric conversion for gauge. It is an industry standard measurement for the thickness of the wire. If you need conversion to thickness in mm, go to your local audio shop with a caliper and ask the installer to help you out.

Here's another one I found. Try doing a search for "AWG to metric".
