If you are running anything over 50 watts RMS than I would upgrade other than that you will be fine. I use 50 watts on stock wires all the time. Some people will tell you that it can not handle it and all but the fact is it can very well handle it. Because even when running at full volume you still have adjusted your gain on the amp so your are really never going to see 50 watts RMS.

As usual Matt is correct. One of the biggest overkills is Monster Cable, etc. A couple of years back Audiophile (or maybe Stereo Review) ran a test of speaker wire. Plain old lamp cord performed as well as many of the "boutique" cables.

I think I'll run some new 16 guage. I plan on running 150wrms into my 3ohm Boston z6's. Plus I don't think the crossovers on those things will fit in the kicks or doors. They are the size of bricks.
