RE: Is 16 gauge speaker wite ok to use with my Merlin TSMBME

Big fan of thin wire. Try some 24g magnet wire. Its like $10 for hundreds of feet. worth the try. and before you nix it because its outside the normal "bigger is better", do you think there is 12g wire in your speakers? Are the voice coils 12g? I am betting most if not all the wire in the chain is not 12g. So what will 8ft of 12g get you if there are thinner runs after the 12g.

Get some sand paper to strip off the coating and wire it up burn it in a day and see.
