[Jedi730]

hey guys. im planning to rewire my system. i have kicker es separates in the front and pioneer coaxials in the back. do i just connect the speaker wire from speaker directly to amp? also what speaker wire gauge should i use? i have a roll of 100ft 18 gauge phillips magnavox speaker wire. is that good enuf or shoud i get something thicker? thanks in advance.

your 18 gauge is same as your OEM wire speakers if you plan to re-wire it get a thicker one. Your best shot is 14 gauge for your future expansion of your system.

Yes. Connect into wire speakers terminal in your amp. Pay attention correctly, be sure that you are in phase that the positive and negative leads are hooked up the same way.

great thanks. also would there be a big difference in sound between 18 gauge and 14 gauge?

None. Im only figuring your state average output of how much your maximum current of your speaker is going to require if you upgrade your system if you juice up your volume. Rule of tumb..if you need to pushed the limit you need more current an 18 gauge cannot perform all the juice you need, so I said 14 gauge if your looking this in the near future.
