Hello All. Please forgive a newbie question.
I just ordered a new 5.1 Surround Sound System. It's a JVC model DS-TP380. 100 watt, 5 speaker plus sub woofer.
My question is about choosing the right speaker wire gauge.
I'm planning on tucking the speaker wires between the carpet and the baseboards. The longest run of wire will be approximately 40 feet (for the right rear speaker.)
The question is, should I buy 12 gauge wire, or 14 gauge? Or does it really matter at only 100 watts?
Thanks in advance,
Glen
