14 or 16 gauge should be fine for speaker wire.

Get high speed (category 2) HDMI cables. 28 gauge should be fine for short runs. 24 gauge is better for longer runs. 28 gauge is more flexible, which is good in racks and tight spaces.

Yes on the HDMI cables.

you will need 2 sets of banana plugs for each wire (one for each end).

you guys rock thanks a lot crazy

this is what i got i am ready to go ?

5 - 1 PAIR OF High-Quality Copper Speaker Banana Plugs - Closed Screw Type [JX-74043]

1 - 100ft 16AWG Enhanced Loud Oxygen-Free Copper Speaker Wire Cable

2 - 8ft 24AWG CL2 High Speed HDMI Cable w/ Net Jacket - Black

[crackinhedz]

for an 8ft HDMI cable, I would suggest you get the 28AWG cable.

The 24AWG with netting is fairly heavy and not very flexible.

Im a huge proponent of Monoprice, and have both the 28AWG and the 24AWG...trust me, the 28AWG is probably what you want.

[crackinhedz]

you should probably buy a few extra cables, never know when you'll need extra. Or even a family member/friend might need one!

DJ ~ Take a look at what crackinhedz posted for the 8 ft. cable.

6 pairs of bananas ^^^^^^
Otherwise you are good to go.

HDMI cables are rated either "Standard" or " High Speed". (may also include an ethernet channel, but that's irrelevant.)

So basically, there is no such thing as an HDMI 1.4 cable.

The HDMI version depends on the HDMI Transmitter/Receiver chip being used in each device. Not the cable.
