I now have a new headunit and speakers... time to upgrade wires?
The next restriction in the system is the wires, right? Will I hear the difference if I were to wire everything together with 12GA audio wire?

well, actually a thicker gauge wire will help your bass response. and if you get Monster or similar high-performance wires, they block out a lot of RF interference and push a much clearer signal. upgrading speaker wires is always a good thing to do

upgrading speaker wire is definatly a good thing for high powered systems, but 12guage wire is really not needed unless you are wiring subs, its usually more expensive and just bigger so its more difficult to fit in the tight spaces....

Unless you have a problem with the factory speaker wires I woudn't bother upgrading them. Given the ambient noise level of a running car (even stitting still) I can basically guarentee that you will not hear any audible difference. (Also, keep in mind the run legths in a car are very short.) Your time and money would be best spent on other things.
One the other hand, if you already had the complete interior of the car removed (such as to install sound deadening) then why not upgrade the speaker wires. It would be cheap, easy, and provide some piece of mind that no small details were overlooked in the installation.
