Sorry, but i don't guite understand.... are you asking what gauge the remote turn on wire normally is? that would be anywhere from 12 to 16 gauge as that would normally suffice.

Yeah 16 or 14 is more than efficient enough.

IIRC I don't think it matters what gauge the power on/remote wire is. I'm using a very thin wire that came with my RCA's.

Im going with 12 G, I have a large roll of it so I may as well use it.

Make sure to take off any sealant, grease or paint to ensure a good contact with the metal.

Sorry forgot to reply to this thread :)

12g is a little overkill, but if you have it, then use it :)
