These cables will go under the house from one wall to walls on both sides of the A/V room. What gauge, insulation and brands would you fine folks recommend?



Thanks in advance for your input.

If your room configuration allows it, you may consider moving the amp near the surround speakers and then using short speaker cables to connect the amp to the two speakers.

You can run balanced XLR cables from the preamp to your amp. Balanced XLR cables are better suited for the long runs that you are describing. You can check out Blue Jean Cables for high quality balanced cables that can be run inside the walls and can be custom made of any length that you choose.
