1st, I did try searching the forums but quickly gave up.
I am looking for a good website (or brick and mortar) for speaker cable, longest run will be 25-30 feet so wont be going any thicker than 14g. Thanks in advance.

You'll probably do fine at Home Depot or Lowes if you're looking for B&M.
I'd recommend Monoprice.com for low price or Axiom's for flexibility over B&M, though.

Walmart's electronic section will have speaker wire if you don't want to wait for a shipment from an internet direct company. Cheaply priced, accessible to just about anyone in North America and will fit your needs to pass a signal.

Brian, ditto the suggestions from Mark and DH. Take into account, besides price, factors such as waiting time, shipping charges and sales tax.

Yea i went with 200' of 14g for like 46 dollars shipped to my house, that is tough to beat. I know Home Depot had 250' for like 72 dollars.

You made out good. Usually when I look at monoprice for a single item, the shopping cart seems to add up quickly.

Dr. House,
Great point in fact when i first started looking at it this spring i went from needing speaker cable to WANTING speaker cable, cable ends, cable track, etc etc etc and all of a sudden it was well in excess of 100 dollars and i canceled the whole order, this time i was much more disciplined (till after the wedding Oct 1st)

I have a similar problem with Amazon while consuming alcohol. Costco is much, much worse though. I walk in to get a bag of TP and come out with all kinds of crap I have absolutely no need for and a grand less in my checking account, but no TP.

Then it will be a run to Home Depot for 12 or 14 guage wire.

Wrong Fred, once kids arrive, you are lucky to be allowed to buy anything for yourself at all.

Is that like when you trade your 40 year old wife in for two 20 year olds?
