Monoprice 103844 250ft 12AWG CL2 Rated 2-Conductor Loud Speaker Cable (for In-Wall Installation), White

As seen in the attached photos, the spool is crap - the end disks are cheap cardboard that falls apart and the central round core is cheap plastic that breaks even in shipment. All 4 250 boxes arrived with broken plastic center cores and one cardboard side broken off. So, if you try to pull, the wire unspools all over the floor. (See second photo.) I have had the same problem of crappy packaging on their 1,000 foot Cat6 network wires. If you carry them by proper grip holes, the cardboard tears and installation is a total PITA. If you only want to use them at home for a single install, go for it. But, if you do this for a living, take a pass and buy a higher quality product. You should not run your business with these products. Ive been buying Monoprice for many years and they seem to have really cut a lot of corners and cheapened things over the past 24 months. There is definitely some value for the money, but the aggravation and problems are starting to eliminate any competitive advantage they have.

great wire at a great cost. I ran these through my walls for full 5.1 bi ampe setup and it works great. quality wire and sheathing to protect the wire and get quality sound.

Easy to pull, foot markings are helpful.

A lot of recommendations on the Home Theater Facebook group and they werent wrong. Carries the sound flawlessly

Great!

Worked great

At the time that I bought this 250 spool of 12AWG oxygen-free copper (not copper-clad aluminum) wire a year or 2 ago, it was the absolute best price I could find. As a matter of fact, I believe it was cheaper than other brands 14AWG OFC wire anywhere else. So the value is great. As for the wire gauge being true to size, I believe it is, or extremely close to it. Ive bought wire from multiple sellers/brands in the past, and a lot of times they advertise their wire one or two AWG sizes larger than it truely is. Due to that, I needed 14AWG wire but ordered 12AWG to make up for any upscaled false advertising. Regardless, this wire ended up being pretty true to size or very close to it. I used this to connect 4 big custom speaker enclosures that I hung in the upper corners of our 3-stall garage/shop. I still have some left that I occasionally use for automotive purposes, and I usually cut/pull the white loom/sheathing off first. However if you do remove that white sheathing, I dont recommend using it in a place that will either rub other objects that could wear through the insulation from vibration or movement, or melt through from heat. The wires have a thinner, cheaper insulation. I also dont really recommend using it in outdoor areas, and that includes on vehicles in engine bays or exteriors, because it wouldnt be as protective against the outside elements. The copper will likely oxidize much sooner in those applications. For indoor speaker wiring applications, its great.

I bought it for wiring up a deck for sound. The electrician seemed impressed with it, so theres that. The staples didnt break the wires and it was very flexible. There were no breaks in any of the stretches. Monoprice seems to have a sizable chunk of their offerings on sale at any time, so it was priced lower than the comptition. If you can get it on sale, it is afforable and works great for in wall cabling.

Nice quality! Easy pull and install. One of the best speaker cables I have installed.

Very flexible. Great as expected from mono price.
