Wire gauge on a simple speaker

[QUOTE="Tom.G, post: 5463567, member: 581973"] Unless you play slow organ music at full volume, don't worry too much about dissipation in the voice coil. Most music has power peaks ten times or so the RMS value. That means for your amplifier to handle 50 Watts without distortion, you will be running 5 Watts or less "most" of the time. Since you are designing and building the speaker, use a wire size you are comfortable with; if it burns up, go down 3 gauges in wire size (that doubles the current capability). [/QUOTE]
