Can i use speaker wire to wire up my CP. I can't seem to find any place here that sells wire in the sizes of 18-22 gauge. Anybody know any cheap places online to get this wire? Thanks.

Yes you can.  You can use whatever wire you have on hand.  I used the wires from some "bad" cat5 cable.  I would recommend using whatever wire you have on hand.  I would also strongly recommend using some quick disconnects on the end of the wires that connect to the controls.

Doesen't matter...the silver side is just the same copper wire that has been "tinned"

Yes, it doesn't matter. Mix and match to your heart's content. I used speaker wire to wire my panel. I used the gold for grounds and silver for inputs.
