I am installing a 5.1 HT system to my new remodel room.
I have 2 Setup in mind, can you help me to decide which setup i should use, or there are better way for placement.

I will use RC80i for my Front Left/Right , and RC60i for Center, Real Left/Right .
Since i heard Front left/right is the most important speaker.

i will be using RCA AH16100SN 100 Ft. 16-Gauge Speaker Wire http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0029HHIDY/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
will these wire do fine to run in wall/ceiling.
or i must get CL2 Rated In Wall/Ceiling wires which is much more expensive.

please help me on these questions
thank you

    If you're going to run it through the walls you'll want the CL2 cable.

    I'd go with the 14 gauge myself.

    CL2 is only really required if you are having it inspected for permit issuance.

    You can typically get away with something like the Audioquest Flex series wire or the like.
    Personally, I would avoid most RCA brand cable as it isn't always a copper conductor.

    Anyway, just my 2 cents.
