Where to find proper size wire to repair voice coil

I have a Cerwin vega speaker and the voice coil is blown on the woofer. Where can I find wire I can match to the proper wire to repair this woofer?

Measure the diameter of the original wire; find the gauge for that size, and order a pound of replacement double build magnet wire with the same gauge. Order less, if you can, since a VC doesn't use much wire.
 
Also, get the highest insulation temperature rating you can, for the insulation coating. The polyamideimide is quite a bit better (200 degrees C), than lacquer/enamal coatings (just over 105 degrees C). Voice coils can get HOT inside.

Gordon
