pre wiring

[Rolyasm]

I am helping a friend pre-wire and was curious about the 12 volt trigger and IR setup. It sounds like I can run a cat5 for the IR, but I see different systems have different 12 volt input/outputs. Is there a single wire I can use that I can adapt later for the 12 volt? For instance, using the second zone off of a reciever, I would want a 12v for remote. Not sure what system he will be using. RG59 is fine for RCA for the second zone, correct?

I'd think cat5 would work fine for 12V trigger as well.

And yes, RG-59 is fine for audio signals.

Speaker wire would work as well. As long as you are only planing on hooking up a 1/8 inch tip and ring connector to it. You will only need 2 conductors.

RG59 is fine. You can use that for your component video as well. Just pull 3 runs if you want from the AV rack to the TV.

ALWAYS pull extra cable! NEVER NEVER wire just the basic. Pull CAT5e and RG6 pull an extra line for each if you can. You will be suprised at how that can save your butt after it is all sheet rocked!

PS: Stay away from 120VAC!
