speaker cable question

Sign in to disble this ad
Would using two different guages of speaker cable make any difference at all? In sound or performance?
One is a ProCo Guardian FatMax with speakon connectors. It is 10 guage. The other is a speakon cable that came with an SWR amp I used to have. It is 12 guage.
Begin educating me, please.

Both are overkill, and in lengths of less than 10 feet will work no better than 16 ga. Suggested reading:
