    Monoprice speaker wire is great. Just as solid and reliable as Monster (the more well known brand) for 1/4 the price. I ordered 2 rolls of this and was able to wire 5 speakers with about 20 feet left over in a tricky setup for a 20 x 10 x 10 room. Only recommendation, depending on the price on any given day on here, I was able to find it a few days after this arrived directly on the monoprice website for about $5 less per roll. Definitely buy this for wiring your system though.

    Became full of mold if used outside

    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, i even used it in my car. I cannot complain. Its true to its gauge spec (copper wise). in my bedroom i have a 12 subwoofer in a ginormous t-line subwoofer box, and 2 home audio speakers all hooked to a pioneer headunit running with a 3 channel amp and it handles it all no issues, no distortion.

    Bought a couple hundred feet of this to use in a church sound installation with subs, mid cabs, and tops. Worked great, sounds great. Copper wire is copper wire and 14 gauge is 14 gauge. Dont throw away money on bigger name brand speaker wire, I have in the past and honestly couldnt tell the difference. The difference in sound quality is probably not audible to the ears.

    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 will be using it for low-voltage applications, and it appears to be quite correct for my requirements.

    Ran about 75 for speaker wires. Did a good job.

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.
