Well folks, 22AWG is rated for about 7 amps. How many of you have even 6 amp fuses in your power amps? So in order to prevent stripping all your precious frequencies in the bat hearing range please never use anything greater than 22awg, at least solid wire for speaker wire. And the phase distortion it would cause. Lordi Lordi. This of cource does not apply to people who like to put their ears up to jet airplane engines which would likely draw more that 6 or 7 amps.
