Default RE-wiring all my speakers, Quick Questions!

What size wire should I use to rewire all 4 of my speakers?

Is there any special brand wires I should use are is it all the same?

These speakers are ONLY powered by my head unit so its not like I have a lot of power running through the system.

Just FYI: 93 Civic DX coupe.

Why are you even going through the trouble of rewiring then? It won't make a noticable difference.

For some reason, the previous owner did it... and his wires SUCK horribly.

Actually 18 ga will be fine, but you can go to 16 ga if you really want to. There are certain characteristics that define good wire, but it is not necessary to go into them. As long as it is name brand you will be fine.
