My 2cents,

I bought 3-spools of pheonix gold 12ga wire at about 1 dollar per foot. Here's how I cut up my wire since I might move it around in the future. I made 2-20 ft runs for the mains and 1-10ft run for the center. Then I used the remaining 2-50 runs for the surrounds. Now if I decide to move any of them I will have plenty of wire left over.

1 question I have is that I basically have the left over all piled up in coils like a garden hose in the back of my receiver. Will this cause any interference? I haven't noticed any noise or artifacts. But 1 responsed mention that coiling the leftover wasn't good.

Is it better to leave the leftover coiled cable behind the receiver or at each speaker? or does it matter? and if I shouldn't coil it up then whats the best way to reduce interference if I don't want to cut it up.
