So, just so I'm clear. There is no gauge limit (within reason) that will work against me with my setup? Am I correct?

Please keep in mind that Cat 6 wire has 4 pairs of 23AWG wire in it, and I plan on grouping as much as 2 cables per binding post. (4 Cables for woofers, 2 for the tweeters) That's sixteen 23AWG wires twisted together and then terminated in a banana plug per post (woofers) in the end, there will be forty-eight 23AWG conductors going to each speaker. I'm not sure what this all works out to gauge-wise, but I would think that it would be 10AWG or bigger.

Is bigger still ok?

P.S. Sorry to be so insistent, I'm about to order a buch of this stuff and don't want to buy more than I'll need. Thanks in advance!
