KnuKonceptz Kord Kable 12 Gauge Copper Speaker Wire 100

In past two years I have made two home theaters in my basement with total of 20 speakers installed (a bit crazy I know but a 7.1 system plus another 7.1.4 takes a lot of speakers and wires.... ). I have bought many different wires from Amazon. Most of them cheap or Amazon best choice etc. I can tell you, this Kord Kable is by far the nicest wire I have used and the price is totally justified by its superior quality. When using the wire one thing immediately stands out to me is that its plastic insulation is so nicely thin and soft, combined with the nature of real copper, making the wire amazingly knot-free and super easy to lay out. Compared to this Kord Kable experience, those cheating CCA wires with thick and hard insulation are absolutely nightmares. Another thing is after striping the wire its copper threads are again so nicely soft and fine, making working with them such a pleasure. In contrast, all the copper threads from those cheap wires are stiff and kind of bristle (probably b/c theyre not real copper, but CCA copper clad aluminum). Huge difference. Dont waste your money ever on those $10/100 ft wires. You only need to spend on wire once and spend dozen bucks more with this quality wire and be done with it. My only regret is why I didnt know this nice wire until last week. Amazon flooded their pages with so many crappy wires that a genuinely good one like Kord Kable is almost impossible to be found. I only heard it by chance when one recommended it on an audio/video forum. If I have one wish that would be that Kord Kable could come with some color variation not jut blue. Itll be nice to color code the wires to different speakers.

I bought banana plugs because between the thickness of this speaker wire and how close Sony put the inserts, there’s no way to get the wires in clean without a mess of exposed wire. The banana plugs keep it neat. I wish the speaker wire came in colors that worked well with my walls , but it’s fine. I bought too much and Amazon was great about returning the unused spool.

Excellent!

This is great for surround sound systems. I installed this in mine, easily installed bannana cable ends. Great sound and reliability. I am working on a second room using this cable again.

Used it to rewire my boat. Stereo sounds killer on very long runs of wire

This and also the ten guage are the best Ive worked with. I ordered 12 guage from Monoprice and compared to to this, it looked like 20 guage, literally. I have nothing against Monoprice but once you try this stuff, you wont use anything else. I use it for wiring my speakers to my AVR. Its heavy, but strangely the most flexible Ive ever used.

Very many strands of conductor.

Flexible, high quality wire. Does not come on a spool !!!! Coiled up nicely but not on a spool.

Top quality wire at a great price! Very easy to work with.

Excellent wire. Definitely 12 gauge. Flexible and 100% copper. This wire is the real deal, and worth every penny.
