A couple of questions:1Why use a higher or lower gauge speaker wire? What does it do for me?2What does better insulation do for a speaker wire?Basically, I'm wondering why I should buy more expensive speaker wire (like Monster cable) instead of the cheap stuff (like at WalMart) for my stereo system.

I'm not sure where Monson lives, I know that presHinckley used to live in a small apartment building next to temple squareI wouldn't be surprised if the church owned the building, and I wouldn't be surprised if it had access to the tunnel systemIt's a safe way for him to get around temple square.
NO wire size depends on the amount of power that will travel through itand insulation merely seperates the wire from everything else, preventing shortsStock harnesses typically use 18-16 guage wire, which is never enough for a aftermarket systemthe first to replace should be the constant 12v( usually yellow), I replace it with an 8 guage wire directly from the battery, and always have a fuse within the first 12 from the battery, then the same size for a ground, never longer than 18This prevents dimming of the headunit lights, which is basically when the unit is starved for powerIf using the speaker outputs from the headunit, speaker wires can be changed to a 12 or 14 guage wire if you wish, but stock size will workFor amp power, I never use anything smaller than 4 guage.( usually when you see someones headlights dim while bumping is due to improper wire size, i.etoo small) Even on low power setups, like under 200 watts, i use 4 guageIf you plan on having some rediculously large amp that puts out over a 1000 watts, go with 0 guageGround wire always needs to be the same size or larger and never longer than 18And i always use 8 guage wire for my sub speaker wire, from amp to box and inside the box as wellI also use 12 guage for my front/rear speakers Wire size does differ by brandYou can go buy Monster cable and get a true size, or go get a cheap brand, get charged the same price but actually get a smaller guagethe outside dimension is the same but the cheaper wire has a thicker insulation and less core!
