    great wire, nice quality, I have used it for some lighting projects on my Jeep Wrangler and its a great product.

    Reason for the 3 stars is that this is 16awg not 14awg as advertised. other wise I would have given it a 5 star.

    Nice quality wires. Used to build my surround sound system, and they worked great.

    Quite happy with this wire. Nice jacketing. Easy to strip. Quality copper wire inside. Wire gauge actually is whats stated, not just a bunch of insulation. Strands are just the right thickness. Reasonably flexible. Cant beat it. Ill be using it on every install.

    Ive used a lot of this cable in the installation of 2 separate wired home theater systems. Although Im not a sound purist, I like things to function well. This cable carries the sound without difficulties. Id purchase it again if I were to install another wired system.

    Fantastic wiring from monoprice and the jacket works well keeping the two wires lined while making long pulls. Will buy again

    This speaker wire is great. I used it to run in my new covered deck and it was perfect. Also a fantastic price compared to many others while I feel the Monoprice quality is just as good. I would definitely buy again.

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.
