I need to purchase some cheap speaker cables with the rca type plug. I
can only find this online as the stores don't carry it anymore. The
ones I've been looking at have different gauges such as 16 and 24. What
are these? What do they mean? How do I know what I need?

Lower the number, bigger the wire.

IMO won't matter with any amplifier using those connectors for amplified
outputs. Get the cheapest you can find.

Buy plugs, buy wire, assemble. Undoubtedly cheaper.

Those are probably speaker wire gauge. I would suggest getting the 16 gauge.

go rampage around at a surplus store that carries lots of wires/cables
etc...buy a spool or length amount that you require of... TELEPHONE
CABLE ( many small solid copper wires housed in its own multi-color
insulation). Find the phone cable that has 24 individual wires,
stripped the insulation off all 24, take 12 naked wires & twist them
into a solid strand which is your + conductor, now twist the other 12
naked wire into a solid strand which is you minus conductor. each
twisted side is about 18 guage (smaller number the better).place
appropriate terminals at each end and away you go! I purchased a 480
ft spool for $75...smaller length may run you about 20 -30 cent/foot.
Good luck!
