Found some good Monster THX certified speaker cable for home theatre. Can I use it to wire up my subwoofer? Is there a difference between speaker wire and home theatre speaker cable?
wire is wire. Theres ZERO difference. its just a strand of copper within insulation. Home audio, welding, car audio all the same sh*t. Just use the appropriate size gauge of wire and that its pure copper and you are fine. Any thoughts of concerns you have about any possible differences are irrelevant. Just use it as any normal wire.Found some good Monster THX certified speaker cable for home theatre. Can I use it to wire up my subwoofer?

None what so ever, matter of fact I wish I had more of it.How was it? any problems?
Probably no substantive difference. AWG (wire gage) is most important, the bigger the better.Found some good Monster THX certified speaker cable for home theatre. Can I use it to wire up my subwoofer? Is there a difference between speaker wire and home theatre speaker cable?
Bigger isn't always better. It's how you use itProbably no substantive difference. AWG (wire gage) is most important, the bigger the better.

Truedat! Every connection is a potential bottleneck and just one bad (high resistance) connection can screw up all the good low resistance wires/connections in the circuit. Each and every connection in the circuit has the potential for introducing too-high a resistance and botching the whole job/circuit path.It says home theatre on it because they want you to buy it vs. the reg wire.
luckily for you were here to tell you that it doesn't matter. jeff has broken down the "mystery wire" for ya.
