What guage speaker wire should be used with these?

Do not need thick wire for high power connection as it has its own powered sub woofer.

I used 16ga. Speaker wire that came on a reel. I did not use any connectors just plains ends connected to speaker and receiver. Works great.

You want to buy the lowest-gauge wire that is pure copper (or at least majority)...this will ensure the best sound for these. Make sure to bi-amp these the rear terminals and your receiver, as long as Your receiver has the capability. That also increases the full usage of these beasts of speakers. 10 - 18 awg gauge wire is your range, with 10 being the best as long as you get quality...read the reviews, there is some bad wire out there that claims to be 10 - 12 gauge but is not. And to be clear, these will not directly plug into your iPad. You must use your receiver for both

Doesn't matter. Doesn' matter, really. Data and signal cables just need a decent connector on each end. Speaker cables are different, you need a fairly wide Guage for that, I prefer 12, but signals, being low voltage, have different concerns, quality terminations, etc

I used 14g because I did not run them more than 20 ft from the source. I looked up the recommended wire size in a chart I found by searching the internet for speaker wire recommendations.

4 gauge is best for power and ground, for your speakers, regular speaker wire. These wires are the same for most amps I've used.

The speaker plugs are spring loaded, so use bare wire. 12 or 14 AWG works well.

I use 16 gauge for mine and the sound amazing. From my understanding, the longer you have to run the wire determines how thick you need but if is just for your bedroom 16 should be perfect and pretty cheap. I use 100 feet RCA 16g and it works perfect and is cheap. EXCELLENT choice in speakers!!!!! Enjoy

That's a somewhat unusual speaker impedance. Your best bet is to consult the speaker manufacturer for their recommendation. However, you should be fine with 14 AWG for a run of up to 50'. 12 AWG gets rather expensive.

The gauge of wire. Application usage will best determine which would be better. The distance from the source and the final output wattage of the speakers are the considerations. There is acceptable and great, only the final user/listener can make that determination.

Speaker wire will fit. With the RCA plugs it will NOT fit. Let me know if you have any other questions.

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

I used the 12 gauge wire with banana plugs on these speakers. They keep the speakers sounding neutral and precise.

12 gauge speaker wire should do the system justice (14 would probably be fine too, really)! I wouldn't go too crazy with brands or anything though. I hear they sell 12 gauge speaker wire of good quality at Lowes for just $0.27/foot. For the sub-woofer however, splurge for the monster cable connect for 30/40 bucks. You bought yourself a great system... you will not believe the unbelievable, precision sound. Best of luck my friend. -Eric

You just need a roll of speaker cable 100 feet should be fine depending on how far you want them to be from the reciver. 14 gauge should be fine as well. Just a heads up the further you want to run the cable the thicker you need it to be. Also a pack of bannana clips will make it look better and be easier to move in the future.

After more than 50 years of reading about, setting up, and listening to stereo systems, I've concluded that thick, lower gauge wires are unnecessary unless the distance between receiver and speaker is especially long. I'm willing to be convinced otherwise by blind tests, but I'm not aware of any. I use 16 gauge now and that is probably overkill, considering that many of my speaker wire runs are less than 10 feet. Do not buy high end (expensive) wire whatever the gauge.
