Outside speakerwire

[Grimis]

Is there special outside speaker wire? I am going to be running 2 speaker wires on the weather side of a house and was wondering if I need to use a different speaker wire than just basic in wall certified wire. The climate is coastal... we get high winds and rain.

Outdoor wires

Asside from CL2 rated in-wall wire, there is wire designed for underground burrial that is typically used for sprinkler and low voltage lighting wiring. If you can find some that is 14 AWG copper, it should work well for your application.

Parts Express sells it; it is called "direct burial" wire. Shouldn't be too hard to find at other places as well.
