GS Power 12 Gauge Wire (12 AWG) - 100 Foot, Pure Copper, Stranded Electrical Wiring for Speaker, Automotive, Trailer, Stereo and Home Theater Applications - Red/Black

I used this to run some heavy 12 gauge copper wire for new brakes added to a trailer. Knowing that my brake controller could easily pulse out intermittently up to 20 amps I wanted to get the full force of braking. This wire was well made and very beefy in the copper as bright and shiny as it should be. Very good stranded copper wire absolutely 12 gauge or maybe even a little bigger and a very high quality sheathing on top of it. I absolutely would buy this again.

In my photo, Audiopipe is on the left and GS Power is on the right. Un-stripped they are about the same size. Stripped with the same tool you can see the considerable difference in how much wire there is. The Audiopipe insulation is really thick, and if thats what matters (not how much current it can handle) then that is the wire for you. What many sellers DONT say is that they are selling CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum), rather than pure copper wire. Its hard to see in the photo, but each strand of the Audiopipe wire really is a different color on the inside. You can solder it due to the copper coating, but its not copper and that means it will expand more when heated so Id avoid clamp connections. The bottom line is that if you really need 12 AWG and you dont want aluminum wire you should pay the extra price for GS Power. They are honest about what they sell.

Received the broken product

I used this for some 12 volt, 3 Amp charger cables. Worked well

Purchased to connect my mobile and backpack rigs to an Astron PSU. Excellent stranded copper wire, holds shape well with good insulation and binding between +/-. Definitely worth it. Having a 12v project, this is the wire you want to use, especially if its for anything automotive like radios or amps.

Great value for the money.

The wire sheathing was well constructed and audio signal transfer is good.

wire works just fine

Better than most wire, and would recommend. Except for cost, and wire size. I felt it lacked a bit. That said.. easy to solder and easy to work with.

Good stuff. Arrived in good shape, but somebody needs to learn how to package it. Five inch diameter roll in a 6X6X14 inch box with no padding leaves a lot of room to roll around.
