Regular/stock speaker wire size?

Question

what is the size (gauge) of speaker wire that comes stock with stereo speakers. (when you buy a stereo from the store what size speaker wire comes with them)

I need some longer speaker wire to spread my speakers out

thanks

Answer 1

stock wire is 18 to 20 gauge,if you want to up grade i would go no bigger than 12 gauge speaker wire

Answer 2

it varries with different brands,  for small surround sound speakers i would just use 18 guage wire however for stereo speakers i would up it to 16 guage, and for your subwoffer i would use 14 or 16 guage considering they draw more power
