Packed my StreetWires away and they're on a truck and it just hits me that I don't have the remote wire. What gauge is it typically?

Thanks

    Pretty thin. 18 would be fine. We're not talking a lot of voltage here.

    I normally grab anything between 18 and 14 guage that is long enough. 14 is overkill, 18 is about as small as I would go. 16 guage is perfect.

    If you have multiple amps, I would use a larger guage like 16 or 14. The draw isn't a whole lot for one amp but two, three or four amps can put a load on that little wire.
