Does anybody know where I can find a chart that shows what kind of out-put power, different gauges can handle? Or at least a general rule of thumb for how much power a wire can handle?

(Note: This is for speakers/wattage, NOT about current draw for running an amp)

Cool

check out this site. the formulas for wattage and current are there. took me forever to find this but i knew it was there somewhere. show us what you figured out with the formula. i've never used it.
