Those are gauge sizes, the lower the number the thicker the wire. You dont want to be around 10,12, or 14 if your doing an engine harness. I use 18 or 16. If you have both harness's just pluck some wires off the unused harness. Thats what i do.

you might want to try and ask this in the audio visual section. I know it doesn't even seem related but those guys know a lot about electrical stuff.
I would say try that. I doubt you need anything bigger than a 16 gauge though since you are not really flowing current, just the signal, but I could be wrong.
