    quite thin. the enclosure is the same for all the AWG rating cable. so take a 12 AWG if you can

    This is the second time I purchased this wire. Monoprice wire is good quality wire that I have not had any issues with and is truly the gauge that is listed. This is stiff (compared to other brands) but I use it for speakers and also 12 volt electrical wire in vehicles. Feet per roll has been correct, and at a good price. I will be buying again.

    Paper thin casing. Not measured properly. Paid for 250. Received 210. Not recommended.

    Product is very good. Nice, fine copper stranding and just right flexibility. Nice price point. I researched several brands of wire before deciding on Monoprice and am happy with the effort. Only negative, not related to product quality, is that I had a fairly large order of products that came together and I didnt check against the order list carefully enuf. I ordered one roll of 2-conductor and one roll of 4-conductor wire and got 2 rolls of 2-conductor. Didnt realize the mistake until well into the installation and decided to use what I had instead of returning a roll for replacement. My fault for not checking well enuf.

    I used this in between rgb LED strips. Suited my needs well.

    Very good quality speaker wire and pretty easy to work with. I found these by Monoprice to be just the right thickness, any thicker and they might be a problem for tight areas, and the sound quality from them is worthy of a medium to high-end sound system.

    This is great quality speaker wire, my go-to for audio setups because of the price

    At the time of this writing, there are 82 reviews, and Im not going through them all again, but I did read a lot of them before purchasing.

Get the most out of your home audio system with high quality, oxygen-free, pure bare copper speaker wire from monoprice!

this speaker wire features two conductors made of high purity (greater than 99.95% pure), oxygen-free bare copper. Pure bare copper is a superior conductor to the copper clad aluminum (CCA) conductors used in most other inexpensive speaker wire. Cca is only about 68% as conductive as pure bare copper. This additional resistance is added to the impedance of your speakers and can negatively effect The sound.

for the wire to have no audible effect, The total wire resistance should be no more than 5% of the lowest impedance of your speakers. Even speakers rated for a nominal 8-ohms, may dip to as low as 4-ohms at some frequencies, which further reduces the total cable resistance allowed in the wire. Using pure bare copper speaker wire ensures that the total load put on the amplifier remains as close as possible to the impedance curve of your speakers.

for example, a 16AWG 2-conductor pure bare copper speaker wire has a total resistance of 0.803 ohms per 100 feet (both directions must be considered). by comparison, a 16AWG 2-conductor CCA speaker wire has a total resistance of 1.181 ohms per 100 feet. Assuming 4 ohms is the lowest impedance of your speakers, a speaker wire run can be no more 0.2-Ohms total. 20 feet of 16AWG pure bare copper would be 0.1606 ohms, well under the 0.2-Ohm limit. On the other hand, 20 feet of 16AWG CCA would be 0.2362 ohms, well over the 0.2-Ohm limit.

each conductor is jacketed with color-coded PVC for easy polarity identification. The entire cable assembly is jacketed in a white, CL2-rated PVC material. The CL2 rating indicates that the cable complies with fire safety and insurance requirements, making it safe for use inside the walls of residential class buildings.
