Car Audio Speaker Wiring - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Currently I am working on installing a head unit in the glovebox on my 72 truck. I plan on running am amp sometime under the seat, but right now I want to get all the wiring done, expect the power feed for the amp. The head unit is a panasonic cq-c1401u. I plan on using 16 gauge speaker wire from where the amp will be to where the speakers are. Anyway my question is what type of wire do I need to run from the headunit to where the amp will be. Can I use 18 guage 4 strand (like the tail light wire) automotive, or will that cause speaker noise if they are ran in the same channel? I wasn't thinking far enough ahead to put them in before the carpet that is now glued down

Thanks for any help.
