5.1 speaker cable options?

[Mike Hoxbig]

right... got 1mm for rear and 2mm for front and sub. should do the trick

The sub should come with it's own cable.

So you're using the thinner gauge for the longer run to the rear speakers and the thicker stuff for the shorter distance to the fronts? I would've gone the opposite way

I was considering the range/volume that comes out the rear compared to the floor-standers in the front?

I am using that over 10m+ for sending AV to my tv in the bedroom - Thanks for the Tip McGuyver!!

Have a look here, http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/diycables.html

You can also put fancy sleeves over them and make them look really nice if looks are your thing.

Unless it's seriously poor or damaged, cheap wiring (assuming that the distances are less than 10m), the thickness really should not have any influence on the volume or frequency outputs.
