What is the best wire gauge to use for hooking up speakers to a home theater receiver?
I have a RCA RT2380 home theater receiver that I have recovered from storage. I have found very few wires to hook up all the speakers. I want to buy some wire but I want to know what the best gauge is. I'm thinking to go with 12 or 14 gauge wire. What do you think?

Since you didn't give us your length requirements or your speaker impedance it's impossible to say for certain but for most home theatre applications either 14 or 12 ga will work fine. I will attach a link below with a table you can use to determine for certain what you need.
