Speaker Wire for 100w RMS

[Bdsankey]

What size speaker wire do I need for ~100w RMS with some headroom to grow later, 10ga? I'm currently looking at going to 10ga OFC in my front doors to support my new speakers. The run will maybe reach 10ft-15ft once it is fully routed.

10 gauge ofc is overkill imo. Some solid ofc 12 gauge should be fine and alot easier to run into the doors.

Well for 100 wts it's overkill... But he said he might want to grow later. If he grows to 1000+ wts, 10 gauge might not be a bad idea 😉

I'd rather run something to support 100-150W rms now as I doubt I'll go over that.

Then even 16 gage would probably be fine. I'd probably go with 12 though. 

I run 12 on everything but my subwoofer (s) but 4 gage for that.
