[Roadsters] OT: Living room speakers and speaker wire

[Pat Horne]

As stated earlier, copper wire is copper wire. The one thing I would 
look at is the insulation on that wire. Some state insurance/electrical 
codes require that the wire have insulation that is rated for use in 
walls. Wire that is intended to be enclosed in a wall should be rated 
CL2 or CL3. For the most part the CL2/3 insulation is rated for flame 
spread and smoke generation. CL3 is slower burn I think.

Peace,
Pat
