in Basic Hookup/Wiring Questions
Thinking of rewiring my surrounds and going wireless to amp in the back of the room. Looking for some bulk cable suggestions.. Probably 14 ga. and AQ looks to have some decent value. Anybody have some for me to check out?

    I've been enjoying the Furez Doug carries. Haven't really had time for critical listening comparisons, but even fresh, it seems a pleasant upgrade over the Monoprice 12awg I was originally using. The Furez seems pretty smooth to me so far.

    I'm playing with building cables of both 10awg and 12awg. Pretty flexible, easy to work with. I would imagine 14awg would be similar.
    I disabled signatures.

    No need to check it out bro, go with either SLP or FLX from Audioquest in a 14 gauge and your set.
    It's amazing how damn good that wire is. You can wire your entire rig with it and perform at a very high level.
    My system is wired in FLX 14-2 and I'm considering for the sheer hell of it swapping it all out for 14-4 doubled up meaning using 2 conductors for Positive and 2 conductors for Negative to yield a heavier gauge just to see IF the 14-2 is losing anything at the lengths I'm running for my Surrounds. I believe each surround run in my system is about 38 feet.
    My Center channel wire is 10 feet long and it's 14-4 to closer match my front speakers. My Fronts where wired many times with 14-4 at 8 feet but I have changed out my front wires so many times which right now I'm running pre made cables in Audioquest Rocket 44's Terminated in Audioquest 500 series Banana ends in Silver Plated over Pure Purple Copper.
    All my other speakers are terminated in Audioquest 300 series SuregripSilver Plated Beryllium Copper. These banana jacks are my favorite for Terminating and re terminating as they are cold Soldered meaning Press fit in Allen head Sliver Plated Copper Screws.
