Ages ago i ran cheap wire from my TV, behind the skirting, to behind my sofa. I am now wiring my Quad L-ite 2 set up and have decent wire for the fronts and the sub but could i get away with cheapo for the rears? If i can i can use the existing...otherwise i'll have to run new stuff and tack it on the skirting (which looks cack)

excellent - just what i wanted to hear!

last question.....i am mounting the rears about 1.5m up the wall and the existing wires end at the skirting - so i will add a bit of my sexy wire to get up the the satellites. Is there a "done" way of joining wire or do i just coil each end together and make a good connection?
