Thanks for the info regarding the maximum length for 16 gauge wire. I even offered to buy the wire and pay them the same amount as if it was purchased from them. The length for the 16 gauge wire will be close to 36 feet but should be under. What types of problems can I expect if the length is over 36 feet and/or just from the smaller gauge wire in general? I forgot to mention that it is a 7.1 system so I have four 6 ohm speakers with 16 gauge wire running to them. The w150 only is a few feet away from the receiver so that should be OK, hopefully. Yes, they ran the sub coax cable. Again, thank you.
