Can I use 18AWG speaker wire? - AVS Forum
2007年4月20日 · Using 18 AWG wire will result in signal attenuation equal to some 0.5 dB if your speakers nominal impedance is 8 Ohm, and up to 1dB if their impedance is 4 ohms. So IMO you will be more comfortable using 16 AWG wire. Of course 14 AWG is even better.

SPEAKER WIRE = 14 AWG or 12 AWG? - AVS Forum
2007年12月2日 · American Wire Gauge (e.g. 14 AWG) refers to how many turns per inch the bare wire covers. So for that example, 14 turns in one inch means the wire is 1/14" diameter, without insulation. 10 gauge wire would be 1/10" (0.10 in) and so on. So the LOWER the gauge number, the thicker the wire. Here, 10 gauge is noticeably thicker than 14 gauge.
