Wire running questions

[ChunkyDark]

Would it be a bad idea to run my 4 surround cables together in one piece of conduit?
It’s 20-30 feet run with cl2 16awg with 6ohm speakers.
It would be cheaper and easier to only run once piece, but if there is any concern with the EMF it could be run separate.
They are all coming down into the basement ceiling near each other so I wanted to try and keep the basement (dungeon) tidy and not just staple it to the rafters.
Thanks,
ChunkyDark

Running them all in the same conduit is OK.
If the work is being inspected, you'll need a connector and plastic bushing on the end of the conduit.

It will be fine to put them in one conduit. Congratulations on using conduit by the way. All HT cables should be in conduit. That is the most important step to future proofing your set up. Just don't put AC cabling in with other cables, that could cause trouble and is against code.

Thanks for feedback guys. That was my assumption, but I didn't want to end up re-pulling a bunch of wire on an assumption.

In addition to the conduit make sure you're crossing any lines carrying 110V or higher at a 90 degree angle and don't parallel any of these lines within 12". This will minimize the effects of the EMF.
