Hi folks, I’m building a new house and could be doing with some help to confirm audio cabling. Questions below:
1) I am going to have a speaker in each room and run speaker cable back to a central room up to 20 metres away. What cable should I use and how many cables should I run to each room/speaker?
2) I want to have surround sound in two rooms, most likely 5.1. What cables do I need to run back to the receiver in the comms room? My understanding is I need a red/white cable from front left back to receiver and red/white cable from front right back to receiver, speaker wire (different to red/white?)connecting each speaker in a loop, a coaxial from sub woofer back to the receiver and a HDMI (probably cat6)from the tv back to the receiver. Is that correct? Or do I need speaker wire coming back to the receiver for each individual speaker (5 of them)?
3) Can I buy an amp for the speakers in point one that would handle say 10 speakers? Also can I plug this into my network / wired or wireless? Any recommendations?
4) What surround sound system do you recommend today, mid range budget?
5) What ceiling speakers do you recommend?
many thanks for your help.
