Hi,

I am setting up a home theatre in my basement using an AE700 front projector and four axiom speakers and one subwoofer. My question is what type of cables should I buy? I want to run:

a. Two internet connections for my xbox and computer (cat 5 or 6?)
b. What kind of speaker wire should I use? I am running the wire in my walls prior to adding drywall. Is there a specific shielding or grade I should be using?
c. Cable for satellite connection and HDTV receiver (rg6?)
d. Any recommendations where to buy cables online?

Any help would be appreciated.

John

John:
a)Cat 6 for a home computer is overkill
b)Home Deport 14 guage. There is two kinds. One has more shielding, but you probably don't need it.
c)Depends on your projector. I assume that is your question.
d)Do a google for the cheapest prices. Depending on which cable you get different prices on different cables

Elias use a new thread to post your question. You will get more attention
