I am building a house, and to save some money, I am going to be running the speaker wire for a home entertainment system, speakers in the dining room, and to speakers outside.

Does anyone have any tips on the type of wire I should use (gauge, etc...)? Does anyone have any tricks of the trade that will make this easier?

Thanks!

Run conduit from your proposed speaker locations to a place easy to run the wiring through. I'd use 12 Guage speaker wire rated for installation in walls.

Upgrading Electrical?

on Mar 24, 2000

We just bought an older home (built 1950), all of the outlets are two prong and don't appear to be grounded. The previous owners put a 3 prong adaptor on the outlet in the kitchen so they could plug in the refrigerator. I want to know: is this safe?, and if not, what do we need to do to make it safe? Thanks, e.

Outside Lamp Post on a Dusk Sensor

on Mar 25, 2000

Our outdoor light sensored lamp post all of a sudden stopped turning on at dusk or any other time. Could this be something I can fix or should I call an electrician? Thank you!
