I am installing a 70w per channel amp in my upgrades to my car
sound. I am not a nut, I just like a good car stereo....
What would a quality car stereo shop use for speaker wire ? I am
thinking of 16 gauge. Is that sufficient for this purpose (70w per
channel).
I don't want to start a war here about Monster Cable and stuff like
that, I just want practical advice on what makes sense for the proper
gauge wire for this installation.
Thank you !

If your speakers are 8 ohm units, then we are talking around 3 amps per
channel average RMS current....16 guage wire will be more than adequate for
handling that.
Most car speakers are 4 ohms.
