Power is the product of amps x volts, it has nothing to do with wire size.
4 Gauge wire is larger in diameter than 6 Gauge wire.
10 AWG wire will have less resistance per foot and therefore you can have longer runs with 10 AWG than 12 AWG without as much loss of signal. Additional to loss of signal there is a need to maintain a low impedance driving the typical speaker with its 4 ohm or 8 ohm coil resistance, to avoid frequency-distortion. A guide rule is that the speaker cable should have a total resistance around 1% of the speaker resistance (or less). On that basis, for 5 yards of speaker cable for a 4 ohm speaker the wire size would be 4 sq. mm (11 AWG) or for an 8 ohm speaker 2 sq. mm (14 AWG). <<>> Using the above formula of 1% of the speaker resistance the above answer is not correct. For a 4 ohm speaker at 1% is .04 ohms. The resistance of #12 wire is .001588 ohms per foot. This will allow you to run 25 feet and still stay within the parameters. For a 4 ohm speaker at 1% is .04 ohms. The resistance of #10 wire is .00100 ohms per foot. This will allow you to run 40 feet and still stay within the parameters. You can see, what the first answer states is correct.
AWG # 6 copper or AWG # 4 aluminum
For a 100 amp service located 160 feet from the power pole, it is recommended to use 2 AWG copper wire or 1/0 AWG aluminum wire to ensure proper voltage drop and safety. Be sure to consult with a licensed electrician to determine the specific requirements for your installation.
Yes you can. You did not say how many amps were required.

4 Gauge wire is larger in diameter than 6 Gauge wire.
The recommended gauge for 18/4 thermostat wire in a residential HVAC system is typically 18 AWG (American Wire Gauge).

-14
Using the number line Start at '18' and move to the left, until you reach '-4' . You have made '22' steps ; the difference. Arithmetically 18 - - 4 = 18 + 4 = 22 The difference. Note the double negative.

No, code does not allow that.
AWG # 6 copper or AWG # 4 aluminum
Base = 18, Power = 4
