Better make sure that what you use is up to electrical code. If your house burns down you may have issues with the insurance company. Home Depot sells grey wire specifically for this purpose and it meets code.

Low voltage wire (including speaker cable)should not have any code issues unless:
1. You are running it in a plenum (air return), improbable in residential construction.
2. You have a very draconian building code.

Chris, I point out this issue since some people don't know what their building codes are. I would hate to see someone get burned (pun not intended) by their insurance co because they didn't hire licensed people. I won't take the chance.
