I rewired a cab various times, and prefer thicker cables. I think Bogner also use big cables in their cabs. There was a thread on HRI by RACKDOCTOR, if i remember correctly.
I rewired my cab today with 12 awg. I didn't test how high I could go, but i got to 115 decibels and my power section wasn't over saturating me, and usually that is at around 110 that the power section gets involved, which is the only complaint i had about this amp at all. As far as if it sounds better or not, that would have to be if i left same exact eq, and that would be really hard to determine, but it is louder. I wired series-parrallel and checked for phase when all wired and with all 8 ohms came to about 7.3 ohms, so everything checked out well...
