OK. I was running the speaker wires tonight for my home theater, and I guess I either measured things too "accurate" or I completely missed something. Anyway, when I ran them, after I left extra length for the mains and surrounds, I didn't have anything left over for the center channel...

Here is my question. The longest piece of wire is about 35 feet. I used 14 gauge for the 4 speakers mentioned above. I have some identical, but 16 gauge, speaker wire sitting around. Would I be OK with a run at about 25 feet of 16 gauge, or should I make a stop and get more 14 gauge tomorrow?

I am hoping to save time by not having to run to where I got the 14 gauge as it is about an hour round trip with traffic. The cost isn't a big deal since this is just speaker wire from Lowes (Home Depot type place for those that don't know)...
