Cables for rear surrounds


I've got about a 50' distance to get my surrounds wired up from my receiver. Thinking of using 16 gauge pure copper insulated wire with banana plugs. Should I cut any excess lengths which may be about 10' or so. Or does it really matter?? Any tips other than the obvious in wiring for surrounds?

Hey bdp24 good observation -  never occurred to me that 16 gauge may not be good for 50' run of cable. Anyone think 14g would be better?
