2 questions for the group:
1. Is it OK to use a different gauge speaker wire for one of the surround speakers than the wire for all the other speakers?
2. Is it OK to temporarily tie 3 lengths of speaker wire together, wrapping the connections with electrical tape?
I ask these questions because I was wiring my speakers and ran out of 12 gauge wire for the run to the left surround. I'm waiting for another order of wire to arrive. In the meantime, I plan to do the above in order to continue setting up the system.
