How much speaker cable?

2/10/2007 4:14:45 PM

50-100' 12 gauge prefered

i had a similar problem, though theres a few places with deent prices via google. i got some from computerbrain and it came quick, though it was white 18 guage cuz i wanted something not hideous on my walls.

mine is going in my walls so i don't really care.

zip cord - the stuff they sell to rewire lamps at Homedepot: brown, white, black

parts express has a few different options, $33 for 100' of 2 conductor 14ga.

but for longer runs, especially in-wall, it might be worth finding wire with a ground wire in it to prevent interference. we had some interference, mainly in the video signal, with our in-wall wiring.

and A ground wire will fix that?


should i just run it under the carpet near the baseboard to keep that 60hz signal out?

eh, it did for us with the video signal. it was about a 35 ft run for that, but close to 50 for the main speakers. the interference we saw was occasional horizontal lines on the screen, and by grounding one end (it's just a tiny, like 26ga, wrapped around the two signal wires) to the wall faceplate helped clean it up. If we weren't doing in-wall, parellelling power cables, we wouldn't have worried.

we picked up spools of the stuff that had teflon coating and was very flexible, made routing very simple.

What on earth are you doing where you need 12 guage speaker wire? Are you sending 1000 Watts per channel or something?

2/11/2007 4:05:32 PM

speakers 1000ft away

2/11/2007 5:01:02 PM

^ He only wants 50-100 feet.

2/11/2007 6:19:28 PM

Around the ceiling 250 watts/channel and CLARITY!

2/11/2007 7:22:00 PM

twas a joke

2/11/2007 8:00:18 PM

you think youre going to couple enough 60hz to make an audible sound when he is convinced he is sending 250W to a pair of speakers?

2/11/2007 10:06:20 PM

hahaha i know i'm not actually sending 250 watts because the power supply nor the power cable too my amp could handle that

i just figured for 30 bucks for 100 yrds of 12 ga isn't too shabby

2/11/2007 10:38:52 PM

and i don't actually have the 250 watts its just planned in the future
i have a yammi amp now... but i'm setting up for a rotel amp and pre-amp
