    thicker cable is better?

    How about Maxus ...anyone familiar with this brand? are they any good?

    is thicker cable (12 gauge) really better than regular 16 gauge?

    Depends

    From what i understand it depends on how far the source has to transmit the signal. So 12guage has an easier time transmitting a signal 50ft than an 18guage wire, it also puts less stress on the source to push the signal through a thicker wire. Check this link out, i found it helpful.

    For something like 10 feet, no. One-Hundred feet, yeah. Assuming you aren't driving 1 ohm speakers.

    Not familiar with Maxus.

    Here's another article. There's a wire gauge table midway through.
