erikjohn Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Bruins, I picked up a roll of 500' of 4 strand 12 AWG in wall CL3 copper strand wire from Smarthome for like $300. I have combined 4 wires to 2 to make an effective 9 AWG for my stuff since I could not find anything this thick in near the price range. The brand is there own brand but worked great. The website is www. smarthome.com. It's the cheapest good wire I could find for in the walls. Unfortuantley I used almost all of the wire.

legend9 Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 I went to circuit city the other day, and saw that they had these Monster cables, very very thick. In fact, it was the thickest there. I wonder what gauge was that.... Anyway, I'm looking foward to do a minor upgrade from home depot speaker cable to hopefully Monster 12 or 14 gauge. I don't know if I should step up to the M's series.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Unless someone has some extra he wants to unload, I think your best bet might be ordering Carol architectural cable from PartsExpress. 12 gauge was about $.18 a foot last time I ordered some. Sorry, don't have any left. It is all in the walls. Don't know if they have 10 gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruinsrme Posted February 26, 2003 Author Share Posted February 26, 2003 Ralph, I am most likely going to be pulling I think 10gauge out of my walls when I get the new cable. Since I ma running it thru the walls I need to pull the old to replace it with cable that is up to code. If you are interested let me know. I think there is 3 run lenghts of 20 to 25 feet 10 gauge.

legend9 Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Hey, Yea I'm always interested... Are the Monster Cable? My current speaker cable sux, 18 gauge home depot brand, heh. I don't know if quality cable sounds different, but I'm sure Klipsch sounds better than Polk. BTW, why you tearing down the old 10 gauge cables and replacing them with lesser quality 12 gauge? Isn't thicker always better? One more week of college, then its spring break...yahoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruinsrme Posted February 26, 2003 Author Share Posted February 26, 2003 Thicker is always better but ensuring things are up to code when the home inspector is coming to visit is worth the small performance hit. It is not monster but is oxygen free blah blah blah and it will be at a very good price. scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend9 Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Sure, drop me a price. ( didn't know cablings inside the walls are related to home inspection...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruinsrme Posted February 26, 2003 Author Share Posted February 26, 2003 I have been advised that if its running through the walls it supposed to be rated for it CL3 or higher. Plus ensuring its up to code will appease the Mrs. Sometimes its worth just worth doing something than to argue about it. If something was to ever happen I would never hear the end of it. scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend9 Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Scott, Just email me when you take the cable out. I'm off in 2 week, heck I can even call another road trip to worcester if you'd like. =). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruinsrme Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 Hey Ralph, One of my fellow hockey friends is trying to snag me 100ft of monster cable 12/2. If he does I will have a set of MCX fronts non biwire and a 3 or four runs of 1o gauge. He was hoping ot snag it this week but he was called to another job. I really want to do it this weekend. I will be giving a russ a call today and seeing how much overnite is. scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
