The gauge of wire that is 12 volt is 18, 14, and 16.
AWG # 12 is 2.053 mm in diameter.
Heavier wires do not necessarily mean better sound. Typically, 18 or 16 guage wire is sufficient for home audio systems. If you are going to be running extremely long distances, say 100 feet or more, then increase the gauge size to like 14 or 12 to keep from losing too much audio signal. In a car, 18 guage wire should be quite sufficient.
Yes, a #12 AWG conductor has a greater diameter than a #14 AWG conductor. A #12 conductor has an ampacity of 20 amps whereas a #14 conductor only has an ampacity of 15 amps.
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
For wire gauge, 1.25 mm diameter wire is closest to 16 gauge (AWG). See related link.
A wire with a diameter of 4mm corresponds to a wire gauge of approximately 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge). The relationship between wire diameter and gauge is not linear, so different wire diameters can correspond to the same gauge.
The AWG wire gauge with the highest number indicates the smallest wire diameter. For example, AWG 40 wire is much thinner than AWG 10 wire.
gauge
A wire gauge is a number that indicates how thick the wire is. A larger gauge number means a thinner wire. Gauge and diameter can be linked by looking up wire tables.

The gauge of wire that is 12 volt is 18, 14, and 16.
For a wire classified under American Wire Gauge standards, 26 gauge wire is 0.0159" (0.40386 mm) in dameter. For a wire classified undere metric wire gauge standards, a 26 gauge wire is 2.6mm in diameter. Metric gauges are calculated simply by multiplying the diameter, in mm, by 10 and therefore increase as the diameter increases, unlike the AWG standard.
12.5 gauge smooth wire typically has a diameter of about 0.099 inches or 2.52 millimeters.
Bigger guage number = smaller diameter wire. 30 guage is thinner
AWG # 12 is 2.053 mm in diameter.
To measure the diameter of a wire using a micrometer screw gauge, place the wire between the anvil and the spindle of the micrometer. Gently close the spindle by rotating the thimble until it comes into contact with the wire. Read the measurement displayed on the thimble and sleeve to determine the diameter of the wire.
