Can any one give me some good reference material (books, web sites, etc...) for wiring surround sound. I plan to wire for surround sound in my basement.

Thanks,
RM

I don't really have any reference sources, but you can take a look at some of these audio sites to get an idea:

www.mssystems.com
www.jblpro.com
www.onqtech.com - more structured cabling than audio
www.xantech.com - professional audio controls
www.russound.com - best in the business
www.jviparts.com - controls/plates/connectors/etc.
www.harmankardon.com - best components in the business
www.nutone.com - wide range of audio products - good prices

Sorry, I know that's not what you're looking for, but like I say I don't really know of any reference sources for wiring surround sound. It's pretty basic, just use high-quality wire, and don't run your speaker wire next to power wires or you will get interference in your speakers. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, there are a lot of experts here in this field that are more than happy to help.

Good luck!
