Default Speaker Wire

Ok for you guys that have already ran speaker wire to your fronts and sail panel speakers. How many feet of wire am i going to need to run it to my fronts and to the sail panels? I'm putting the amp in the spare tire well.
I'm guessing 50 feet should be enough? I guess?

Do what I did: Instead of screwing around, and making multiple trips to the stereo shop, buy 100' off Ebay for $16:

You might have a little left over, but i'm sure you could use it somewhere.

Well it would be nice to have 100 ft but that just seems too cheap to be any good. Now mind you i don't really know what makes one speaker wire better than another but 100 ft for 16 bucks just sounds too good to be true. By the way you recommended the knukoncepts stuff a while ago and i'll be using ALOT of their stuff so thanks for the point in the right direction.

No problem. Even though it is only $16, Speaker wire is speaker wire is speaker wire. The only possible problem you might have is it could be a bitch to strip, but who cares, for .16 a foot? The reason I pointed you in that direction, is because what I did was get 250' of twisted Lightning audio 16/2 wire for $25 off Ebay, then went Knukonceptz for all of my RCA, power wire, and connectors. Good luck with your install.
