5.1 HT Placement, Speaker, and Wire Choices Help

[yuxinhong]

I am installing a 5.1 HT system to my new remodel room.
I have 2 Setup in mind, can you help me to decide which setup i should use, or there are better way for placement.

I will use Polk Audio RC80i for my Front Left/Right, and RC60i for Center, Real Left/Right.
Since I heard Front left/right is the most important speaker.

I will be using RCA AH16100SN 100 Ft. 16-Gauge Speaker Wire

Will these wire do fine to run in wall/ceiling?
or i must get CL2 Rated In Wall/Ceiling wires which is much more expensive.

Please help me on these questions.
Thank you

You must use CL2 rated wires behind walls and I would strongly recommend 14 gauge or higher for the speaker runs to ensure best audio quality.

This stuff is great:
For only $21.20 each when QTY 50+ purchased - 100ft 14AWG CL2 Rated 2-Conductor Loud Speaker Cable (For In-Wall Installation) | 14AWG Loud Speaker Cables

Can't see the photos you posted directly on the site, so here are links to them...

You definitely want to do the first setup if you are stuck with the TV jammed into that corner. It's far less than ideal placement in that room, but if that is the only place the TV can go, then so be it.

Thank you for your answer, i will get the CL2 wires.

In setup 1, all 3 speakers are so close to each other, will i hear the difference from left and right channels?
