How long are the runs of wire going to be

[brett_day]

correct me if i am wrong but i believe 16 gauge will be more than sufficient unless your runs will be 100ft or more

[neos_peace]

well the sub will be less then 5 ft from the reciever, a=same wiht the center channel. Um L/R will most likly be no further then 10-20ft(total distance of running the speaker wire) and the rears will most likly be no further then around 20-40ft(again total ft speaker wire being ran) running along the ceiling that is

LOL sorry but........English please

i suggest 14 guage wire, commonly used for most home theatres. Use the preout for the sub.

You know that you won't be using "speaker wire" to hook up your sub from the 805 right?
