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

This is what I expected and it worked fine for my needs. My gripe is that real copper wire is expensive. However, my review focused on the quality.

This is good quality wire. Insulation is thick, wire is fairly flexible and easy to route through holes etc. The conductors are high quality. The wire is not what I expected so I gave it 4 stars. I know, not fair since its my expectation that made me take one star off. The insulation on the wire is some sort of double layer. The black and red material is coated on the outside with a clear insulation. Im not sure of the purpose of this dual layer but it still works. Warning, something I learned the hard way. I had to solder this wire onto a connector and the insulation melted easily. When you are soldering 12 gauge wire you have to apply a fair amount of heat to get the solder flowing and the insulation started to sag right off the wire. I tried it again at a lower temperature (on the soldering iron) and was able to complete the solder connection without losing the insulation off of it. If you are using only crimp connections (which the rest of mine were) then this is great stuff.

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.

Great cable been using this to put some ham radios in and make some power pigtails for that purpose.

Best of the best

Great value for the money.

It took almost two months to arrive and was in horrible condition when arrived.

the gauge of the wire measured up to the specs they were suppose to be. the wires are copper, high power magnets dont stick so the purity must be pretty high.

This is perfect for my HAM radio on my car, when wiring it up. Its exactly what is used for the current radios I have.

I very rarely give 5 star reviews, but this one earned it on every category. Its pure copper, thick gauge and nice thick insulation. I havent hooked it up and listened to it yet and when I do if it fails me for some reason Ill be back to change this review so if your reading this Im not disappointed. Also I knew it was good quality soon as I picked up the package, it was double the weight that a similar roll was for the same footage that wasnt solid copper. This one is the real deal!.
