The standard black and red wires that you clip the metal ends into the woofer. Those wires that go directly from speaker to woofer or whatever. What are they called, I will be going to radioshack to buy some of it to extend the lengths of my current ones...

Speaker wires? Or like RCA wires?

 

[JacKz5o]

Ehh.. power wires? Positive/negative wires?

 

[Fishie36]

They don't have a special name.

There's no real special name for them. They are just double conductor wiring. If they seperate easy, they are sometimes called zip wire.

speaker wire id say use 14 gauge or bigger

 

[jph1589]

Those would be speaker wires. Take one with you so you get the right gauge.

A bit, different gauges changes the resistence (Ohm). Smaller wire means more resistence.

So I have to eyeball guess the gauge, I do not see any writing on this stuff...

 

[whe3ls]

ya i wont run any thing smaller then 14 gauge in my van the resistance can be bad too much and you could trip the system
