I think I'm just going to buy 400ft of Belden 12 gauge and terminate it myself. Cheaper that way and I can do on-site custom lengths. My question would be, do the cable lengths for a stereo pair need to be the same length? For 2 channel, usually the amp is in the center and you can have the same length for each channel.
But for my 5.1, the front left channel is only a couple feet from the amp while the front right is some 12 ft away. Can I make a 3ft and a 12 ft cut? Or will the extra length affect timing and imaging in 5.1 setup? Electrons move pretty quickly so I would assume that for most home installations, it wouldn't matter, but if I have to cut them both to 12 or 15 ft and then roll up the slack on the left side I suppose I can, but I was hoping to not have any extra just laying around.
