Absolutely for maximum power transfer impedance's are to be matched a low wire gauge will insure that the power is not dissipated on the wire as appose in the speakers.

What is the difference in wire gauge size?

Heavier wires do not necessarily mean better sound. Typically, 18 or 16 guage wire is sufficient for home audio systems. If you are going to be running extremely long distances, say 100 feet or more, then increase the gauge size to like 14 or 12 to keep from losing too much audio signal. In a car, 18 guage wire should be quite sufficient.


What is a balanced and unbalanced audio?

Balanced means that the audio signal is going evenly to each channel. (Left and Right)Unbalanced means that the audio signal is going unevenly to channel. Balanced audio means that neither signal carrying wire is used for the ground. The ground is a separate conductor. Most of these audio cables have 3 wires inside. Unbalanced means that one of the signal carrying wires is also is used for ground thus a 2 wire cable.
