Which Wire for speakers?

[cubs_fan0718]

I just got a set of 6-1/2's and a set of 6x9's and was wondering what would be the best size of wire for them 10,12, or 14 ? What do u guys think of the stinger twisted wire it comes with that plastic covering to keep the wires all nice and together? One last question whats a good site to find dash kits and wiring harnesses any help is appreciated.

darvex is good, and for the wire, bigger is better

you dont need those, jus thread the wire through and twist, maybe tape

If i was gonna thread it through i'd rather solder it and not just twist and tape thats a rigged way of doing it. I also dont want to pull my panels off because it came undone or some junk like that, taping was when i was young and was just like oh electrical tape it lets get this thing rocking stage, now im about getting it done right and nice.

ya i understand but it is just door speakers, not like theyre creating a great amount of force.

i guess i jus wouldnt waste the time of soldering them, but thats me
