Has anyone used a 14 or 16 gauge wire with this system? Or, twisted non-insulated wiring? Thanks!

You can not use non-insulated or twisted wire (twisting wire cancels signal ) I did not use other gauge wire you mentioned but it should work just more expensive

My wire is 18 gauge. The wire gauge doesn't matter as there isn't any current going through it. The coating on the outside needs to be able to be buried (ground contact wire) which this is. there isn't any stress on the wire so it doesn't need to be thick, thicker wire will be harder to use when installing. Bottom line don't worry about this wire. I installed this wire 15 years ago and only just needed to do it again since we re-landscaped our yard and tore up the old wire. I figured new wire was better than a bunch of splices. good luck.

14 gauge is really better. I used 14 gauge and it works great. The longer wire runs should use bigger wire like 14.

My item 95836 has two wires from the socket and a plastic coupling to connect to the low voltage line. My low voltage lines are 14 and 16 gauge but they only 2 wire each. Are you using a different source cable that has a ground wire ??

Good question. I can tell you it will not accodate standard 14 gauge soild copper wiring. if you are using this in your house you will need to connect a smaller gauge wire to the romex wiring. the connection terminals are very small on the supply side

I didn't use the connectors. I work with wire almost every single day, and didn't see the need for them. I ran 14 awg, stripped the wire and twisted it with my fingers and put them in. Had no issues.

No wire, but 14 Gauge is fine. People who spend hundreds on speaker wire are crazy. I've been in the recording industry for 33 years and we all use 14 gauge. BTW, this speaker is great for the price. Good Luck. Bobby

I would hard wire for this application with a wall switch at house level. Not sure you need 12 gauge wire. I believe 14 will work.

With out getting too technical 12 agw is best 14agw will do and pass on 16agw. For the tech stuff see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gaugeHope this helps.

I paid a little more for 14 gauge wire. In hind sight 16 gauge would be just about as good. I got oxygen free wire to make sure I didn't get copper coated aluminum. The oxygen free cost a little more but IMO its worth it. Bottom line I would have gotten 16 gauge oxygen free speaker wire.

My estimate is 16-18 gauge. Not 14 or 12. It was the same gauge as the stock wiring in my Cherokee '95

PFL2004 requires 8.3amps, 2=16.6amps, three 25.1amps. so, thermostat and wiring rated more than 25.1 amps answer is yes, however, I doubt that is the case. 14 gauge wire is rated 15amps, 12 gauge 20 amps, 10 gauge 30 amps, is your "one line" 10 gauge wire? probably not. Moreover, question is puzzling, why three on one thermostat, heating a barn?

you should use 12 gauge wire, but you could use 16 gauge if not running long distance.

Sure. I believe this is 16 gage wire but you could use a red or blue crimp connector, or better yet, solder and heat shrink.

18 gauge. It's not really the thickness of the wire but it is the outside coating that makes this the wire to use. Any thicker wire and it is harder to install...just a thought

I don't have any extra 4 gauge to check it but my 12 gauge is copper strand wire. I remember when I was putting it in I was very impressed with the quality. The only thing I would do different is the audio cable. Very small remote power wire and the connectors are cheap.

Hi Janet, wire gauge is 16 AWG, comes with a 5 Amp fuse. but now I use it with one of 10 Amp. through it start to run a 120V power inverter 375W
