Neons draw very minimal current.. So anything is really fine, 16Ga or something simlar. The same thing with speakers, 14-16Ga will be fine. You may want to run 12Ga, but I don't really see the advantage, other than less resistance, and *maybe* better SQ. Subs I run 10Ga, to be safe.
Obviously for running power/ground cable to amps, you need much thicker cable. Up to around 1000W rms, you'd be fine with 4Ga cable. Engine wires, I wouldnt have the slightest. This post has been edited by ShadowFX: Feb 25, 2006 - 10:40 AM |

I'd replicate the wire sizing that Toyota uses from the factory for the body/engine harness.
