The thinnest wire I can find a rating for is 40AWG. Although different charts show somewhat different ratings, in part depending on what they are used for the max rating for 40AWG looks like around .009-.0137 amps. That is around 1/100 of an amp. Now I suspect that 54AWG is on the order of 1/10th of that but I don't know for sure. Not that I really need to know because I just suspect that 40AWG would be extremely inappropriate to use as speaker wire connected to amplfiers with like 1/2 amp to maybe as much as 10amp fuses. Geoff's use of 54AWG wire for speakers , speakers that don't carry much current according to him, would be on the order of 10 times less appropriate to use than 40AWG. T
