Guys, my wife and i are going to be starting to build a new home this year and i'm going to do all the prewiring myself. I need suggestions on what gauge/brand wire i should be using. Is heavier gauge always better? (such as 12 gauge) Should my wire runs be ran in conduit? Do i want in-wall or in-ceiling speakers or do i want freestanding? (even for surround) This prewire will be used in my family room which will be used not only for music but also movies/tv etc. Any suggestions would be really helpful. I want to do this once and do it right..........thanks, Matt.....
