would you reccomend 14 or 16 guage wire for a pioneer 1015tx with some polk rears about 35' from the reciever including along the sides of the walls...thanks

I'd go with 14 ga.

12 ga would be nicer but not totally necessary

Belden Speaker Cable

A lot of people SWEAR by Belden Cables. They're cables are used by other manufacturers to make their branded cables. You can pick up some Belden 12 ga. for pretty cheap at:
