Reply to "Wire type/size vs voltage/amps"

14 gauge will handle 15 amps.

12 gauge will handle 20 amps.

Google "ampacity of copper wire"  Even though my spell check says that "ampacity" is not a word, trust me, it is.

The cheapest way to get stranded 14 gauge is to buy the cheapest construction-site extension cords at Home Depot.

Avoid anything that says it's for fancy home speaker systems. You're paying for hype.
