I think the wire you mentioned is No. 6 7 strand wire.
The D.C. resistance of it is .042 ohm per 1000 ft.
This means if you place a speaker 50 feet from the amp,
at 250 watt level the cable will disapate aprox. 1.5 watts,
which will have no effect on the sound quality. By the way
if you were ever to look at the cables inside the speaker and
the connectors used it would suprise you as to how "small" they
are (usually 18 or 20 guage.)
