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.

How big is 6 gauge wire?
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
What is the maximum breaker size for these gauges wire?
You listed no gauge wire. This is the required breakers.14 gauge - 15 amp12 gauge - 20 amp10 gauge - 30 amp8 gauge - 40 amp
Is a 14 gauge wire the same size as a 14 gauge needle?
No - the two have no relationship to each other at all.
How do you use wire gauge?
The American Wire Gauge (AWG) is a shorthand way to identify key characteristics of the size of a wire and pertinent specifications associated with the size. So you will often hear someone ask what gauge wire do I need for a 15 Amp circuit in my home. The shorthand answer in this case would be 14 AWG for a typical residential wiring job.
What wire size is needed for 15 volt circuit?
The wire size depends on how much current it will conduct.
How big is 6 gauge wire?
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
Explain wire size as opposed to gauge size?
Wire size refers to the physical dimensions of a wire, usually expressed in millimeters or inches. Gauge size, on the other hand, is a measurement of the wire's diameter based on a specific gauge system (such as AWG or SWG). So, while wire size refers to the actual physical dimensions, gauge size is a standardized measurement used for electrical wiring.
What is the recommended gauge size for a 50 amp electrical wire?
The recommended gauge size for a 50 amp electrical wire is typically 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge).

What is the difference between a 4 gauge and 8 gauge amp wiring kit?
Far as I know it's just size of wire, smaller the gauge the thicker the wire. which means the 4 is going to be thicker than the 8.
