Speaker Wiring Question

[Erndog]

I am working on wiring up my basement for a home theatre. I am assuming that I should't bundle all my speaker wires together from the speakers to my receiver? Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks

You could just run it in close proximity to each other if you have exposed wall cavity. That should work fine.

I guess I should have been a bit more specific. I have the walls framed. I am using in-wall/in ceiling speakers. I was going to get all the speaker wires from the speaker locations to a common place, then make a bundle out of them and run them to the receiver area. Is this a problem? Will I get any kind of 'cross-talk'? I don't want to make a mistake before I start the drywall.
Thanks!

I don't think you'll have any problems.

I did that when I redid the upstairs in my old house.

Shouldn't be, the impedance is low enough that cross coupling won't be that good.
