12 AWG times two becomes 9 AWG effective.Mikey, its Mil Spec wire, copper stranded, silver plated, teflon jacketed, 600 VDC rated. Its readily available, surplus, like Apex Jr ( Steve ) and LOTS now on eBay, very reasonable in cost vs value derived.
On-Off switches of our home's line voltages for our amps ......are a MAJOR loss area in a good amp.
Mikey, to maintain DYNAMICS, I ALWAYS PARALLEL-wire my DPDT on-off switches' contacts, to have TWO sets of contacts in use. (Photo above, that is Fulton Brown speaker wire paralleling AC switch contacts, about 10 AWG ).
Also, 2015 on, on my DIY " personal amps " I add a second on-off switch, and wire it with double 12 AWG so it will short-out the amp's start-up thermistor AND fuse, in what I call my " attended listening " switch position. (Photo above, doubled light gray wires with white heatshrink, coming off AC switch).
That technique is a truly lovely listening gain on my 45 SET DC amp. Its addictive. Just for "my" personal use when amp is attended / 'am listening.
Try it, you will like it !! Have fun, I am!!
