Customer Review: Wire Gauge Vs. Speaker Wattage
Summary: 5 Stars
It seems like a LOT of people (including me) over spent on speaker wire because they listened to others and simply didn't know better.
Here is a VERY simple table to help you potentially save quite a few $$ and buy the right speaker wire that fits your speakers. Wire gauge ties directly into the wattage it can handle. Amazing what a little research turns up instead of listening to "know-it-all" salesmen.
Use 16 gauge for 50-100W speakers
Use 14 Gauge for 100-150W speakers
Use 12 Guage for 150W+ speakers
I don't know anyone running 150W+ per speaker in their how, so save a few bucks and buy what you need (which for those of us who'd like to have hearing when we're 60), would probably suit quite well with 16 gauge.
As you can imagine there's nothing special about Monster speaker cable. Copper is copper. Slap on a branding and great marketing and it's no wonder they screw over thousands of stupid people with a 3-10x markup on cables, wires, connectors, etc...
