I have a Nobosound NS-10G 50W stereo hifi power amp (powered by two 12V 9AH lead acid batteries in series) to which I connected four 8 ohm speakers (Mordaunt Short MS 20s) - each channel connected in series. This way, twice the normal [12V supply] output is shared between the two speakers and the same "inside volume" can be perceived while listening physically outside. This is no "rave" set up and each speaker wire is appropriately 3.5 meters making an approximate 36 square metre listening area. The sound is pleasant and seems less loud than it really is.
My question is does the gauge of the wires in this set up need to be particularly generous for an evening of 30 - 50 Watts of music. I used some "test probe" wires to connect the power (for the crocodile clips) and some pretty flimsy looking speaker wire (with banana connectors) and it all seemed good for twenty minutes.
