Hi Guys,

Pulled the trigger on this bartop speaker kit, however, it doesn't come with speaker wire.

What gauge/wire should I use with this?

Thanks so much!

I would keep it simple and use the same wires that are used on the joysticks and buttons.  (18 - 22 gauge).  Stranded doorbell wire (20 gauge) works great for this and is pretty cheap at your local hardware store.

If you have Radio Shack in your area, they have speaker wire, but RS tends to be a bit pricey on their stuff.
As delusional29 said, it don't have to be big wire, small gauge will work.

Lowes carries a decent 18G 2 wire speaker wire for $0.35 a foot - http://www.lowes.com/pd_70097-295-55797701_0__?productId=4294347&Ntt=speaker+wire&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dspeaker%2Bwire&facetInfo=
