I have just ordered a 3D Array soundbar and Forcefield 4 sub and wanted to get some recommendations on speaker wire and connection wires for both of them. The soundbar will only be about 2ft away from the receiver and the sub will probably be 15-16ft away (running the cable around the room edge).
I also would like to know about connectors anyone is using and recommends too.

Thank you.

Iamnotthemessiah,

You've got a lot of options with that set up and your costs should be extremely low. Your local GET dealer should sell some speaker wire by the foot and connectors. I'd go with an AudioQuest or Belden wire with a high quality banana plug but you could go bare wire as well. A set of good connectors will last a LONG time. 14, 12, or 10 gauge would all be great due to the short runs you will be using.

Cheers,

T Cobe
