Speaker Wire?

Even if you had a 1 or 2 dB loss using, say, 16g instead of 12g for your rear surrounds, your receiver's auto-EQ (or manual EQ) will adjust those levels anyway.

Very good point Jon. Think I am just going to use 14 AWG all the way around. Even for my rears. Besides, I am much more of a 2-channel stereo guy anyways. HT is not so important to me. But, I do like to watch a movie every now and then. When watching tv, I usually just do so w/o using my surround set-up. Don't feel as though that I am missing much either. Thanks for pointing that out.

Cheers,

I feel 14g is a good compromise between cost, having something adequate even for long runs, flexibility, and "bigger is better" peace of mind

Enjoy!

Hey, just came across this:

http://www.parts-express.com/wired-home-skrl-10-100-10-awg-ofc-speaker-wire-100-ft--100-029

I mean 10 AWG speaker wire? Is that really necessary? Anyone here use this in their set-ups? Seems to be a bit over-kill to me. But, as always I could be wrong. I admit, it sure looks really good though.

Cheers,

Phil

But 4 AWG is not used for speaker wire is it? Have never seen that. However, have seen 4 AWG power wire used in vehicles for amps. If someone is using 4 AWG for speaker wire I am sure doing so is not fun no?
