20 gauge wire is thicker than 16 gauge wire? which one would you recomend for making ear cuffs?

I Binged the question and found the answer, I would use the 16 gauge wire, especially if you putting the time into making them. I hope that this answers your question.

I used 16 gauge with the terminals that are provided. If you want to go to a heavier wire, you can provide your own terminals which are readily available.

A 16 gauge is good for up to 25'. Use 12 gauge for longer length. Make sure the connections are tight or snugged.

Yes , 16 gauge is fine. The spec's state it is good for 14 guage (which is larger wire) as well.

I'm not sure if you mean a ear hook is the tube type earing aid compared to wire hook set-up? I would think the wire is better.

Most of the time I use 14/4 speaker cable which is in wall 14 gauge x 4 conductor so I can connect 2 speakers with 1 cable. I've ran over 150 ft sometimes so 20ft is fine. The shortest path is the best for the speaker and your ears :)

Just my own 2 cents worth thrown in here. I wanted to point out that as the number on AWG wire increases the thickness of the wires decreases.. 12 AWG is Larger ( a thicker wire ) then 16 AWG.

I used 16 gage and my system sounds fine. The thicker the wire is, the better. But I think 16 gage is fine for most applications.

I used standard 16 gauge wire. Note if distance is more than 50 feet you should use 12 gauge for better sound.

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.

I use Luxilon Big Banger 16 gauge. I actually like them better then the original strings. You get more power and more spin. They last a long time.

I like 16awg speaker wire.it match my home theater installation,i like the big gauge.talk to the guys that do this for a living,they say all three are good.

As a couple of the other answers suggested, I would also recommend 16 gauge on oak

Speaker wires are rated in AWg or for short, gauge. The smaller the number the better, however, the more expensive and the thicker the cable. A 16awg is a standard size, but 14awg is better. BEWARE of companies selling a THICK plastic covering (sometimes called jacket or insulation) and passing it off as a certain size.

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.

The UL spec for the wire gauge is 16AWG. We ALWAYS meet or exceed the specification requirement. Anything thinner (such as 18AWG) may NOT meet the UL specifications.

14 gauge for speaker wire is fine. use 4 gauge for your power wire. OFC for all your wires especially power wires - why?cca wire will overheat and burn like the hair on your head, OFC great for current and durability!
