    This is stuff is awesome! Im having a house built now with distributed audio in several locations. The builder has a guy he uses, and while he does good work...he uses CHEAP wire. I didnt want that crap in my walls. I upgraded all the wire...I should have just bought the 500ft spool to begin with.... BUY THIS STUFF! You wont regret it! Great wire!

    I needed some quality speaker cable for a new home theater installation and immediately went to Monoprice for my cable. They make very good cable and their prices are amazing for what you get. Ive seen reviews in A/V magazines that say this cable is just as good as those costing ten times more, and from what I can tell its just as good as the Monster cable one of my friends insists on using. I went with 12AWG not because I needed it at this time, but because I was trying to future proof my cable install ( its a pain to run this stuff after your walls are covered!) Like other cable types this one also has the foot increments on the cable so you know how long a run was and how much cable you have left. Overall great cable, you will not be disappointed in this or any other Monoprice cables.

    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.

    This is a quality cable. 12 gauge is perfect for a excellent for my 5.1.4 speaker layout. Cables are fished through the walls for a clean look and this is what the cable is rated for. Remember this is a THICK cable so when routing take that into consideration.

    Great value! This wiring is better quality than what came out of my little micro speakers. Ha ha. I wanted EXCELLENT wiring so no one has to climb back in my attic again. Excellent sound quality.

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.
