14 gauge should be okay unless you're employing megawatts during production. I use the 13 gauge from www.partsexpress.com, 2 and 4 conductor.

Just pony up for 12 gauge and be done with it - the cost difference is not that much. I get it from cameltraders.com - or get readymade cables from audiopile.net
