Sounds like something is amiss - wrong source setting, poor/altered connection etc.
Agreed. 24 is too small, but that probably isnt causing the problem--there would still be sound coming through. Check and make sure you didnt accidentaly change anything else, and that the speaker wire is hooked up correctly.

As for guages, Id go get something like 16 guage--that will do very well for most applications.
