I need to pick up some speaker wires to run all my stuff in the bedroom. Right now nothing is where it is gonna be because i need some cable.
Not sure who ahs decent wire that will make a differance in the sq without spending a small fortune.
I was wanting to run 12gauge wire or something along thsoe lines as some of the runs will be 30-35feet.
I lloked at BJC but i was wanting to opinions on other wires and what everyone thought.
Gonna need at least 100foot for now maybe more once i start to measure everything out.
Also if you could provide a link with the best place to order from it would be a big help!!

    Read and get your learn on. Every conceivable question concerning wire gauge has been beat to death here, whatever question that you may have will be in there. That will probably save this thread from being shut down. You have 11 pages worth of searches in that link. ;)

    Since you are talking HT in the bedroom, I would use the inwall wire from Cobalt. Decent pricing, CL3 rating to meet codes and plenty good for any nice HT setup. Hidden cables make for cleaner installs for sure.
