Bonjour,

Je suis Americain et j'ai un crayon rouge.

Yep about the extent of the French I speak.

1. A & D. Here is a link that has some picts that will probably answer both questions. Scroll down a bit and see how they handled things:

1. B. Yes the common wisdom is that resistance will diminish the amps ability to control the woofer. But that doesnt apply to mags IME. Anyone who has tried 24g or higher magnet wire on the bass drivers has reported "QUICKER" better controlled bass. Of the choices you mention, I would go with the thinnest myself, and use 28g mag wire on my bass driver at the moment. And I did rewire my old sub with 25g magwire (4 runs of 30g) and it definitely quickened up.

here is an example : http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.mpl?forum=mug&n=147292&highlight=magnet+Hoshi

Pictureguy has a theory that the thin wire and its resistance makes the amp behave like a current source and that is why it works well on mags.

1. C. Not sure but I dont think it is a huge deal. IMHO the gauge and type of conductor will make more difference.
