I am running 4 6.5 component speakers from my doors to the amps in my trunk. I need some speaker wire and some suggestions. What size speaker wire should I run? Also where can I get a good amount for a cheap price? Possibly 50 ft. Thanks!

How much power are you using?

14ga is probably fine.

Where are your passives mounted? Are there 4 6 1/2's and 4 tweeters in each door?
