In my experience, using speaker wire larger than 14 AWG is a waste.
On the other hand, I've never wired up a big thumping subwoofer, nor do I play my music that loud.
From the AWG specification chart, it seems 10 AWG would be big enough to handle almost anything you have planned.

Also, given the relatively short runs you'll be using, the cost difference should not be that great between 10 gauge and 14 gauge.
Good luck.

I'm using a HDMI tv as a monitor, and I want to use the speakers attached for my audio. Under the sound properties it labels them as "Not Plugged in". How do I get them to work? I'm using Windows 7.

I am a novice so forgive me. My existing speakers have 8 ohm resistance. I purchased a 6 ohm center speaker. Watt can I do to correct this other than buy new 6 ohm speakers?
