Speaker Wire?

I'm getting an aftermarket HU soon but have a question about speaker wire. The speakers have a capacity of 50 rms and peak of 250 watts. There 6.5" speakers. The HU is running 4 channels at 50 watts each. Should I replace the factory speakers wires or get some 16 gauge wire from knukonceptz.com?

I don't plan on running an amp.

if you never ever plan on getting an amp the factory speaker wires are fine.

Also be careful to not look at peak numbers. Your headunit is likely putting out around 15-20 clean rms watts max.
