Default Stereo re-wire question

On the weekend I bought a JVC KD-R710 headunit. It was on sale and been wanting this one for a while. Now, my Camaro is a 95 with the Bose setup. Currently all speakers are out of the car. I want to totally get rid of the Bose setup so I will need to unhook all the individual amps as well.

Question is what size speaker wire do I need to run new wires to my doors and sail panels? I wanted a local shop to give me some answers but it seems they are not responding. Currently there won't be an amp but in the future I may install one for the speakers. The speakers I'm thinking of getting are the Infinity 6032cf for both doors and sail panel. The hatch will eventually get a sub but not now.

Any help, comments, suggestions are all welcome.

You should be able to run 14ga to all of that just fine with no issue.

14g is fine but if you plan on using any amp in the future just go with 12g just to be sure.. you never know, you might want to upgrade and running wires correctly in our cars pretty much requires removing all the panels so do it right the first time... i would run rca wires just in case... you can take out EVERYTHING if you want and run your own wires.

Thanks guys. Definitely doing that then with some 12g wire then. I need to get a set of speakers and I'm all set. I'll take off the rest of the interior this weekend as well. Can't wait to get my transmission back and to start putting the car back together before the spring hits .

Thanks again guys.
