Your audio system begins with the Speaker Cable! 16 Gauge (awg) Speaker Wire is about as small as I'll ever go, regardless of the length of the runs within the stereo system. As the other sizes, it comes in bulk spools, 2 and 4 conductor, CL3- In Wall- Plenum Rated, Shielded, Oxygen Free, and standard Clear Jacket.
16 Gauge speaker cable is perfect for Home Audio Stereo Systems that are for average use, not an extreme amount of wattage and when one does not care if they lose a little power from their stereo amplifier. As stated before, 16 awg is smaller than 14 gauge wire, which is smaller than 12. Moreover, you will often find 16-4, or 4 conductor wire, in a Siamese jacket (side by side) with CAT5 , which is perfect for many custom audio video installations. This usually comes in a 500' role and is often cl3 rated, which is a in wall fire rating.
Wiring a home audio system can seem confusing, questions of size, make, model, but with the correct guidance you can have your HI FI stereo system up & running by yourself with minimal cost. Feel free to contact us with any questions. . .
