    Good cable. Little stiff but was easy to work with.

    Very nice quality wire. Inner jackets are thick and well made. Only dislike is the outer jacket is very loose. Not a problem, and I do not expect it to cause a problem pulling the cable, but would be nice if the jacket fit a little snugger.

    no issues, cheaper on amazon than anywhere else I looked. Glad I bought the 250 roll. used all but about 10, stereo sounds awesome

    High quality wire for high end sound systems at a very reasonable price. Delivery in a timely manner at a nominal fee. Overall outstanding value.

    I managed to grab a 250 roll of this 12 AWG cable only $80. Been wanting 12 AWG cable given that I have about 50 runs through my walls to my rear surround speakers. Just couldnt justify the cost so I watched and waited. This is a great cable. Glad I managed to snag it cheaper than normal!

    Solid copper speaker cabling. Didnt think the foot markings would be as helpful as they ended up being! The white jacket is quite loose around the two wires but didnt cause a problem with my install. Durably coated yet easy to strip.

    500 feet later, wire appears to be good wire, will not know for 45-60 days, still wiring, then sheet rock, texture, paint, tile, then awesome surround sound!!!!!!!! Wire is beefy and well twisted.

    I ran this to the various in-wall and in-ceiling speakers and speaker jacks in our new house prior to drywall installation. Our house is not complete so I havent connected any speakers yet. But since it is basically copper wire I dont foresee any problems.

    I originally bought this last year for my house, never got around to wiring it up, and my parents needed some wire, so used it at their house, and the sound is much better than the wireless system they used to have. Now I bought a second reel for my house. Im expecting good things here too.

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.
