You ought to see the size of wire that Ten Tec uses at the factory.. I do not
think it is bigger than no. 14. Could be wrong but think I am correct.

gauge for any 100 watt radio would be no. 12,
as it is rated at the 20 amps your 100 watt radio likely pulls. Some of the
latest radios pull 25 amps, and you would need no. 10 to be safe with them.
You likely are seeing voltage sag regulation issues with the high IR drop of
14 ga. on power peaks.
