Those things are loud as hell. It is idiotic to assume that it is a wire
gauge prohlem, which is what Dick tried to convey to you in a very
diplomatic manner and with good explanations.

An awesome piece, typical vintage JVC - good sound - just wish it
played a **little* louder.

You need to consider the possibility that it is actually somehow broken,
perhaps start with the proper question: my new old jvc boom box off of ebay
is not loud enough?

note: you have accepted it by starting to "do things" to fix it, imo you
should have tried to negotiate a refund. Last time I looked they still were
available over the counter. Is it something simple like an inch of dirt on
both sides of the speaker membranes or are the bass loudspeakers dead?

The only thing I had to point out was that
on a boombox you're not going to have 10feet of
wire per speaker on a detachable model - as
I stated, maybe 2-3 feet maximum extension.

Which makes replacing the wires as a "cure"
even sillier.

Again, I have issue with these speaker wires
because to me they are no thicker than the
wires going to a Walkman headphone. *I
suspect they are "choking" the sound

And you are wrong, simple as that.

and am willing to undergo replacing them
with one gauge size up. *

And as little sense as your original proposal
made, this one makes even less sense.

Can't hurt, as long as I watch polarity as Dick
said and use a strong enough kit.

Perhaps you will discover that adding new wires
to a piece of sh*t will result in a piece of sh*t
with new wires.
