Wire Gauge

Hi guys I just recieved my Kicker ZX350 AMP in the mail today and Im dieing to get it installed. But Im a little confused on what speaker gauge to use, I have the factory head unit, Kicker KS6.2 in the front and stock rear speakers. My AMP does have Hi-level inputs. Also Im somewhat worried about blowing the stock speakers my amp is 60 * 4.

you wont blow your speakers with the wrong guage speaker wire. just make sure its a good quality. i usually run 14 or 16 but if i have a big amp pushin big subs i run about 4 or 6. a 60x4 amp you should be good with some 16 or something close.

Im worried about the stock speakers blowing because the max wattage on them is 45.
