The gauge of the wire is the number of the copper strands inside the vinyl sleeve, a smaller gauge number indicates thicker wire (with the ability to carry a higher wattage).  In order to carry the proper wattage to the speakers from the amplifier or receiver, you need to select the correct gauge of speaker wire.

The wattage rating indicates the approximate amount of watts per channel (to each speaker) which are being output from the stereo amplifier or receiver. When in doubt use a larger gauge (thicker) wire.

Speaker Wire Polarity is the positive and negative (or red and black) connectors located on each stereo channel (right and left) of your amplifier and on each of your audio speakers.

Speaker wire has a mark or strip on one of the conductors, this is to indicate polarity of the wire.  When installing speakers to the output of an amplifier you need to observe the proper polarity.  This is important when installing a surround sound system with front and rear speakers.  If the polarity is not followed then the results will be poor balance of sound and even cancellation of some frequencies.

Be sure that if the wire marked with the strip is inserted into the red terminal (positive) on your speaker, it needs to be inserted into the red terminal on your receiver or amplifier. The remaining wire is then inserted into the other black connection (of each stereo channel).
