One factor to consider is very short wires can be a smaller gauge and no problems.
With a longer connector, then a larger gauge is better.
Though most folks use the same wire as the speaker wire.. and then the gauge issue is moot.
But if you are experimenting.. Short as possible, with solid core wire with the gauge small than your speaker wire, would be good.
For best bass hook your speaker wire to the bass..
For best imaging and clarity, connect the speaker wire to the upper range. (unless a two way with a small tweeter.. Then always connect cables to the woofer)
And if a two way with a small tweeter. The wire to the tweeter cold be as small as 22gauge if very short.
Tweeter us a tiny fraction of the total power/
Midrange a bit more, and woofers the majority of the power.
Usually a split in a three way is woofer is the separate, with mid and tweeter on the other part. Even a four way might have just teh woofer on one, with the rest on the other...
Just stuff tho think about
