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

As advertised

Very flexible. Great as expected from mono price.

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.

Bought this to wire up a new home theater room in my house. I was running through walls so was looking for some sort of jacketed in wall cable. This fit the bill and was at a price (<$0.50/ft) that was tough to beat. The cable easily pulled through walls and small holes (as small as 5/16 dia in places where I wanted to be discreet). I read some reviews that said it is too stiff or difficult to install to wall plates; that was not my experience. I found it to be only slightly more stiff than non-jacketed speaker wire and as i said the jacket made it easily slide through the walls. I also attached the ends to Monoprice Banana Binding Post wall plates and found it to be plenty flexible for that purpose. The only odd thing I will note is that the black conductor is more difficult to strip than the red....odd, but still not a big deal. Would definitely buy again!

High quality! Great price! Love product! Worth the investment!

Excellent quality and fair price. What more can you ask of items from Monoprice?

Great!

Thinner sheathing than some other wire I bought but ran fine, sounds good. Spool sucks though!

Great speaker wire, pure copper which is what you want. Great sounds produced by my speakers, no distortion or interference.

Attention Pretentious Audiophiles. This cable is cheap and awesome. Buy it.
