I'm going to be wiring some speakers soon. They will have 50 watts RMS going to each speaker. What gauge speaker wire should I use?

    hmm 50w? well you could use a piece of string for that.... :D

    Use a 14 ga for good upgradeability. You only really need 16 but since you're there...

    Im going to hook up my 4x6s with 16gauge, theyll have roughly 50 watts going to each
    if youll want to upgrade later...then 14, if not, 16 is more than enough

    18 is fine unless you're bumping up to 100 anytime soon.
