gauge

I'm working on 2 sealed UM18s that I want to power off of a Crown XLS5000, 1600x2 at 4 ohms. I was planning on internally wiring with 14AWG, mostly because its flexible, but should I be using a thicker gauge? Parts express is telling me 10AWG. Its only about 30" so I figured 14AWG would be...

Hiyas, I have purchased the new Yamaha RX-V665. 90wx7 / 630w AVR. This will be a 6.1 channel. Thank you, This is not rocket science, I don’t want to blow the speaker drivers by using the wrong gauge wire, I wish then NOT to look so obtrusive going up the corners or along the baseboards, but...
