Yes, 8 gauge speaker wire it the good life. JL actually made mated 12 gauge for subs, but honestly it wasnt that large. Ide say the size of Fosagte 10 gauge, i used to use fosgate flex 8g for my subs. Good stuff

you will never need 8 gauge speaker wires for it to matter.

no difference except size. assuming you got 16guage for your speakers

i got 16 gauge stinger wire for my speakers and ordered 10 gauge ab for my subs but i forgot i had all this 8 gauge laying around. doing up a big dc/cdt build in my jeep, should be pretty awesome. gonna start a build log when all the product comes in.
