I know this is last minute, but I need 1000ft of speaker wire by Friday. I went to Home Depot and Lowes. I need in wall rated 14/2. HD and Lowes only have 12/2 or 16/2.


Where can I get speaker wire fast and not pay $75 for shipping!

You may have to pay $75 for shipping...

Try monoprice, blue jenas cable, or parts express...get it overnighted.

You can also try pacific cable.


You may just want to go back to HD and pick up the 12 gauge because shipping 1000 ft of wire and upgrading it to something like 2nd day may end up costing more than the price difference of 12 and 14 awg.

I don't have any suggestions, but I am extremely curious why you need so much wire, so quickly

What about a Radio Shack near you?


Id go with 12/2 over 16/2. Shipping is going to be expensive for that amount of wire in that amount of time.

davdev,


I am wiring the new house for speakers. 8 rooms and I figure the average run will be 100ft. (2 Runs of 50ft)


Sheetrock goes up next week.

Try another Home Depot close to you. If you live close to a large city some stores are called superstores or contractor supply stores. Also your local store can transfer it in from another store. I work at a Home Depot and know most stores stock it in 500.foot coils.

The Home Depot will likely have electrical circuit wire that will serve just as well IMO. You can get 14/2 with ground for $47 for a 250 ft roll (southwire "roamex"). It's in-wall rated, and given that it can be used for a 20A distribution circuit, it's likely to handle whatever power you throw at it from your amplifier

Any updates on this?


I really would like to know if nz9p29 got his cable on time...

 

[nz9p29]

Found a Home Depot that has 500ft roll of 14/2 for $129.65. They have four on hand, so I will go with that. Although I am now intrigued by Jwatte's comments.

Better make sure it is listed for in wall or in ceiling spaces or the inspector might not let the sheet rock go in.

Just my 2 cents.

Let the inspector inspect the insulation and then put up the wire before hanging drywall. He wont know after the drywall is up.
