Default Speaker Wire

When using a high powered amp for the front speakers (2021 RGS), what are y'all doing for speaker wire from your amp to the speaker? Are you using the factory speaker harness or running new, higher gauge speaker wire directly to the speakers?

Makes sense. I'm currently using the factory harness to the speakers from a SounDigital 800.4 (bridged and I just feel like I'm leaving some power on the table. I'll likely run 14 ga. Getting so tired of pulling the outer fairing off, lol. I told myself that I was going to do it one time when I bought the bike and I've already been through 4 amps and two different flashes.

Kicker flash. It sounded the best to me.
