GS Power 12 Gauge Wire (12 AWG) - 100 Foot, Pure Copper, Stranded Electrical Wiring for Speaker, Automotive, Trailer, Stereo and Home Theater Applications - Red/Black

Nice copper wire / great insulation / very flexible This is as nice a produce as you would find at an electrical supply house. Nothing cheap about this wire.

I very rarely give 5 star reviews, but this one earned it on every category. Its pure copper, thick gauge and nice thick insulation. I havent hooked it up and listened to it yet and when I do if it fails me for some reason Ill be back to change this review so if your reading this Im not disappointed. Also I knew it was good quality soon as I picked up the package, it was double the weight that a similar roll was for the same footage that wasnt solid copper. This one is the real deal!.

This is what I expected and it worked fine for my needs. My gripe is that real copper wire is expensive. However, my review focused on the quality.

In my photo, Audiopipe is on the left and GS Power is on the right. Un-stripped they are about the same size. Stripped with the same tool you can see the considerable difference in how much wire there is. The Audiopipe insulation is really thick, and if thats what matters (not how much current it can handle) then that is the wire for you. What many sellers DONT say is that they are selling CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum), rather than pure copper wire. Its hard to see in the photo, but each strand of the Audiopipe wire really is a different color on the inside. You can solder it due to the copper coating, but its not copper and that means it will expand more when heated so Id avoid clamp connections. The bottom line is that if you really need 12 AWG and you dont want aluminum wire you should pay the extra price for GS Power. They are honest about what they sell.

Excellent quality. Heavy duty insulation. Very flexible. Wired up a fuel pump for an aux fuel tanks in my truck.

This is nice cable. I do a lot of work with 13.8 VDC power at anywhere from 500mA to 25A. This is nice cable for short runs at up to 20+A. Very flexible, easy to separate conductors, no residual cross-color insulation after separation, easy to strip insulation, and appears that each strand is solid copper. Although crimp is always the preferred termination for stranded conductors, if you solder the conductors of this cable there is very little melt-back of the insulation. All around, this is nice cable.

I couldn’t resist getting this at a great price. I use wire often and have learned from experience to only get pure copper. I have had to re-do much wiring after using copper-coated aluminum that failed in short order.

Its wire!

This zip cord has honest - to - size, stranded (>30 strands) copper wire conductors. With a caliper, I measure a diameter of 0.102, and the standard nominal diameter for 12 awg is 0.104. Insulation looks good, too. Walls are certainly thick enough for low - voltage use, and even for 120VAC use, though this is not the recommended application. Outstanding value at this price!

This stuff is nice! I am using it to wire a home theater room, and it is a much higher quality than almost anything else I have used before. I am happy with the flexibility as well. Great find on Amazon.
