Default Another question on my BT4180

The amp will be delivered on Monday. BT was kind enough to include wire to connect my fairing and lower speakers. They even threw in a wiring harness so that I can run the fairing and lowers parallel.

Here's my issue:

I also have 6x9's in my lids. I'm now wondering about the type and gauge of wire that I'll need.

If I use a gauge of wire (for the 6x9's) that's different from the gauge connecting the fairing/lowers, will my sound quality be affected?

If so, what gauge of wire should I use?

I would think that 18 ga speaker wire should be fine.

I use 16 gauge on everything. But that's just me. 18 gauge will work fine.

Pretty sure Biketronics harness's are 18 gauge but I use 16 ga. Sound quality will not be affected as long as the difference between the speaker wire used is minimal ( 18 ga. to say 14 ga.)
