    Great speaker wire! Replacing factory BOSE cables with this one as I need no-visible cable look for 5.1 system in the lounge. Obviously if you know about speaker cables the you will know already that this is great copper wire and it comes in CL2 rated jacket which means it can go into the walls/floor. 100ft is a lot, make sure you dont run more than 50ft each. Also, make sure that both rears are same length as signal to the speakers is analogue and IT MAKES DIFFERENCE (time). Yes, you can adjust it if you have cleaver amp but better to do it right.

    Cable is easy to handle when remodeling porch & wiring in new speakers. Would recommend and use for future projects.

    Very heavy-duty with a jacket almost as rugged as Romex. Nice to have the length printed on the jacket at 1-ft intervals.

    I bought monoprice speaker cable after reading reviews this was for my cinema setup because their are long distances it’s recommended to use a thick gauge cable plus with wire that is to be installed in walls and ceilings you should use a fire resistance wire this monoprice cable is great value also their are different length rolls

    As expected. The product was received as expected. No problems. Sturdy wire thats easy to maneuver in walls. Flexible enough too.

    Ive used a lot of this cable in the installation of 2 separate wired home theater systems. Although Im not a sound purist, I like things to function well. This cable carries the sound without difficulties. Id purchase it again if I were to install another wired system.

    company had lightening quick shipping, though i paid COD in Canada but it was negligible considering the quality cable and price per foot youre paying compared. (at least here in Canada)....highly recommend ...I used this 14/2 for my home theater setup and it works great....

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.
