I'd have to agree to disagree......it all depends on the size of the wire you're currently running......if you're running an extremely thin wire (say for example 22-24 ga) then I'd definetly upgrade to a thicker,heavier duty wire.........it's all a matter of resistance....less resistance (aka. larger diameter wire) will produce a better flow of current to the speakers vs. an extremely thin wire. Picture running water thru a garden hose, then thru a fire hose.........or better yet, would you use a cheap azz set of RCA's from your deck to the amps, or spend the $$$ for a good quality set? Same principle.........on a stock deck and speakers you probably will see little difference, but on a single or multi amp system you'd definetly see better response and clarity........just my .02 cents....
I agree completely with you in theory. My only thought on it is that there comes a point where increasing the size of the wire won't help the speaker, because the speaker is at its performance limit. In automotive speakers, I would say this performance limit is low compared to home theater type of audio. I believe you can go quite a ways in the car audio aftermarket before you reach the limit of most stock wire, if it's in good shape.
To follow your analogy- It wouldn't make sense to use a fire hose, when all you have is a garden hose nozzle.
