Re: Speaker wire gauge question


Oooo, NEVER share one wire between two speaker connections! Neither speaker wire is "grounded" or neutral; both carry changing voltage.

I would also shy away from solid wire, as it is not terribly flexible and can break if bent too often. Good, old extension cord wire works just fine. If you must follow code for in-wall installation, then get stranded wire that meets the code.
