Hi,


I am going to be running speaker cable for HT and the fronts (L&R, center, sub) will be 70 foot runs. Can anyone suggest what to use that would provide good shielding with 12AWG?


I am powering the speakers with 2 apt holmans (125 watt) and a Aragon 4004.


Thank you for help!

You don't need to shield speaker wire. Impedance is so low that interference pickup isn't a problem.


If you're running it in walls, just make sure it's CL2 or CL3 rated.

Thank you very much, that really helped me!!!

True, the CL rating is the majority here. 12G is best, but 16/2 (16AWG/2-conductor would work). www.libertycable.com in Colorado Springs has great service and wire.

Here is the stuff I used. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshow...number=100-742


It's rated for in-wall use and relatively inexpensive. I purchased it online, but found out later that you can get the same stuff at Home Depot.
