If you are stuck on gauge, it's not high quality speaker cable. However, it would be better than the stock plates.Political Correctness'.........defined

start w/whatever you have though I'd go heavier than that between the amp/AVR and speakers.

I use 14 gauge quad cable from blue jeans and am fine with it. Personally, I would spend my money on other things.....The biggest difference that I’ve noticed in my setup is the crossover mod on my RTi8’s. I used Sonicap caps and Mills resistors.
