Speaker connections--->Z560s

[hobcat1]

Not exactly referring to the connections on the speakers or subwoofer, but in your best experience (heck, this applies to home theater also), what is the best way to string cable from the speakers to the subwoofer? Thanks god Logitech didn't make them perm. connected....RCA is cheap.

Anyways, I'm in a small, standard size room (something like 12 by 12'). Right now, I used some heavy duty, construction type glue to secure the wires up near the ceiling. However, this glue doesn't hold forever. Theoretically, I could drill through to the attic, but thats more trouble than its worth. One rear speaker has substantially more wire, due to it not being on the same side of the room as the sub. Also, what would be a good gauge for the z560s? I believe I am using 18 gauge. Any better ways?

I would use a staple gun, easier then drilling and creates less mess (and holes) 18 gauge should be fine, the system is pushing out under 100 watts. I'm not an expert when it comes to technical issues like this, but I know it's not pushing much juice. Don't the speakers come with 18? You only need 8 gauge for a car pushing 500 watts.
