Default CV B54 amp & Infinity 62.11i help

Just received my Infinity Kappa 62.11i speakers and adapters today. Still waiting on the Cerwin Vega B54 stealth amp to arrive.

1. What does everyone recommend for speaker wire, 14 or 16 gauge? Local
audio carries 16 gauge in bulk.
2. What gauge wire and fuse for the amp?
3. I see that the kappa speakers have a screw terminal where the speaker wire
goes. Do i need to solder the end of the speaker wire before inserting into the
terminal? Just thought the screw would have a better contact surface with
end of the wire soldered.

This is my first attempt to install speakers and an amp. After I get everything installed, I will be looking for help on dialing in the amp.
Any install suggestions or tips will be greatly appreciated.

Travelingypse can o ask another question.

someone suggested to me the following:

I just looked it up and biketronics actually says sells a different version for the 4.3 now. A lot of people that are running them to have the bt355, but you want the BT 343. From what I read the difference is the BT 343 doesn't have the high pass filter adjustment like the bt355 does

would you agree?
