@artemus_5... Yes, in very tasteful orange and black. I must have got the 10 from what is currently recommended for direct lines. I remember looking a lot for the thicker gauge... most were I guess 16?

 

I took a quick search on Home Depot... There are lots of 12/3 and 10/3 extension cords available. Worth a try for those doing DIY.

I would fall back on old HD10-3. I actually use it for my office system, I think it was in 2008 Stereophile just for fun they added some wire they bought from Home Depot... a 10 guage 3 conductor extension cord. Cut the ends off and tested it as speaker wire. It did surprisingly well. Not against high end stuff but against stuff like monster and radio shack.
