 Don't know if you got my e-mail. I use western Electric 16 guage for my Maggie 3.6's and they sound great. You should have no problem

 12 (or 10.) Bigger is better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's only if you want greater instrument body and fuller bass. If you don't than use the thin wire for thiner music. This of course is just my humblest of opinions. Tweaker456
