It looks like the Bose Freespace Model 16 works as either a 70 volt or 8 ohm speaker.
If you run them in 70 volt mode (with a transformer at the amp) then you can use 20 to 24 gauge wire. See a description of 70 volt systems here:
If you go 8 ohm you will need a larger gauge wire. I usually use 16 for up to 100' and 14 for up to 200'.
If you can describe the application better I can give more information.
