Not at the boat now but it is either 16 or 18 awg based on recollection of my prevoius work. My personal preference for speakers the handle about 100w rms is 14 awg and 10-12 awg for subs. I did run all new wire for my installs but others have had no issues with the stock wire.

Thanks! I’ve been searching threads, but haven’t come across the FAQs... (apparently, I’m blind).

This is awesome. About to do an amp install, so getting my ducks in a row.

How did your install go? Did you end up using existing speaker wire or running new? Where did you place the amp?
Thanks!
