    Not expensive, quality is just ok, but Ill order again depending on the job.

    Perfect for my use. Rewired my car audio with these. Not too thick. Just wish it was black. One run for left and right input. Then 2 runs for signal to left and right separates running active. Was able to do 2 full runs in 2 different Toyota RAV4 with amps in cargo area with wire to spare.

    You cannot go wrong with this, especially multi room runs!

    I had purchased this item from multiple sellers on Amazon but each time I received the wire, it was not Monoprice wire. It was always CCA wire. Monoprice wire is pure copper and the weight is about double that of the CCA that some sellers are trying to sell. You can tell a CCA wire from pure copper by looking at the cut end of the wire. If its a shiny silver then it is CCA. CCA is much cheaper than pure copper.

    I bought 50 feet of this speaker wire to hook up my KEF satellites. Two of these wires (i.e. 2 pairs of wire for 2 speakers) comfortably fit in the cordmate 2 conduits which I installed on my baseboard trim. No compatibility issues; they worked perfectly with my mix of Sewell and monoprice banana plugs.

    It works, price was right. Heavier Gauge that was necessary, but surprising flexible. Using it stapled to white baseboard and it pretty much disappears.

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.
