OK... so I am knee deep in assembling and installing a subRX, et al., but got reminded by the XYL that I STILL have not addressed the signal bleed into the audio system via the long runs of parallel conductor speaker wires in the HT setup. In order to maintain a high "SAF" (Spouse Acceptance Factor), I need to deal with this issue WHILE I am in the attic re-configuring the network and routing various shack related wiring.

I cannot imagine a stellar group of operators as are gathered here have not had to deal with this before.  <grin>  I am hoping that replacing the speaker wire with either simple twisted pair (or shielded, twisted pair, w/shield properly terminated) will mitigate the hits the HT system is taking.

*Q:  Do any of y'all have recommendations for a particular wire stock for use in this application?* Small system...  only about 50W per channel on the 5 main speakers, so they don't have to be monster-sized conductors.  I considered using CAT-5(+) wire and bonding all 4 pair to a single loop, but I don't think a single run would be enough copper (?), and I don't want to make multiple runs per driver.

*Any ideas?*

73,
