I was wondering if anyone could help out with the wiring I would need for my 7.2 home theater setup. I see wires ranging from 5 to 200 bucks lol. So if any recommendations where to order from and what kind of guage for each speaker would be best.

I have:

2 Motion 12s

4 Motion 10s

2 Dynamo 500s

Still need a center channel and still up for debate. Was thinking motion c but some say to go higher. My local audio store said not to because the sound will throw off my other fronts.

Appreciate the help
 
Well i have my basement prewired for 7.2 surround sound. So the length of the cable is really not that big of a deal but good point. I built a brand new home and took the precaution of having it prewired.
 
IMO, start with what M/L suggests in your owners manual reguarding guage, then do a search and read the many posts here discussing all your alternatives.
 
The thing about length is:
About 6 feet of 14 AWG is the equivalent of 10 feet of 12 AWG. So the longer the run then the heavier the wire.
