However, my opinion is based on my vast experience installing many, many different systems, and there have been as many 'cheap' ones as there have been more substantial ones (I often do installations using people's existing gear - just because people are aware of 5.1 and subwoofers does not mean they still don't go and spend less than $1000 on the entire audio system...). My disagreement was with the overall genaralisation of a minimum 12AWG wire size, and making the point that this is not wise for everyone. P.S. thinning out the strands at the end can still add an element of danger - you may not have heard of it before (I've seen it before) but it only takes one careless frayed copper wire - no matter how thin - to touch the opposite speaker terminal (+ -) and depending on the circuit protection in the amp can actually blow a channel up!
