Ok this may be in forums somewhere but I cannot find. I decided to add 4 additional speakers in a second zone while finishing my basement. I didn't count on the extra wire but I'm gonna be really close! My backup plan is if I have to, run 14 gauge to my volume control box then run 16 gauge from there to the speakers. Or I prob have enough to run 14 to volume control then 14 to 2 speakers and 16 to the others. Would this work to down size the wire.? I believe my design would allow for 16 gauge throughout if I had it but since I don't.....this is my only bet - drywallers come tomm!!! Please let me know!

You'll be fine. Run 14 as far as you can, then finish off the run with 16.
