Whats the smallest gauge wire I can use in these?

I just clamped some .33mm (.013") magnet wire in one of the clamps, and it holds so tight you would break the wire before it pulled out!Mike

Get a roll of plane old 12 or 14/2 stranded elec. wire. No need to go fancy doesn't buy you a thing. The bigger the gauge is always better.

I use a relatively low gauge but am out of town so can't say accurately. Mine is NOT the heavy "round" wire.

I used it with 14 gauge wire. I don't know if they would work with thicker wire or not but you could certainly use them with either 14 or 16 awg.

I am running mine on 4 gauge and it works fine. Just make the length as short as possible.

I use and believe in 14 gauge speaker wire. Don't get caught up in brand. Wire is wire.

Any fine diameter silver solder will work fine. Rule of thumb is to always use solder with a smaller diameter than the wire you're trying to solder, I always try to use 0.032 for just about anything.

Good morning. If applicable, you must purchase a brand preferably MSD 8mm wires so that you have good conduction power.

I actually used 16 gauge wire. I think 14 would work; it would depend on whether 14 will fit in the speaker wire recepticles. No problem at all with the 16 gauge.

Only able to handle 0.5amp, you can use as low as 22 gauge but I used 18 gauge.

Bare wire is perfect. Just strip it no more than 1/4" and try not to use more than 16 gauge wires.

Unfortunately I don't know what size the wire I used is. It came with the house but is was a tight fit. Other reviews I read said no to 16 gauge wire. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

i just used 14 gauge electric wiring. it worked fine. the connections could take 12 gauge wire.

I don't know the gauge of the wire but it doesn't seem to be high quality. They're very basic, but I already anticipated that and bought some wire separately for about $30. Heres what I bought and it works great: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009EADB2Q/ref=oh_details_o09_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

the one I purchased was a 12 and a half gauge I used a 12 gauge wire in it it worked fine so if you're says 8 or 9 gauge it should work fine just double check and make sure its not 12 and a half

I honestly don't know, I used this kit for a low end system. (120 watts powered sub/amp combo) The way I see it... the higher the wattage, the lower the gauge. 4 gauge would be better.

don't try to splice them...if that is your intent to try and figure out the wire gauge size. splicing is hit or miss...usually miss, especially if you are an average do it yourself without proper tools. just figure out the length you need, and order the size you need. even for custom applications, it is easier to order the length than trying to make one. these cables are cheap enough now not to try and bother with the aggravation. amazon makes these in 3ft, 6ft, 9ft, 15ft, and 25ft lengths and they are very inexpensive.
