    Got this to run a single white wire around the corner of the wall/ceiling to my rear speakers...works great and white color blends in with the wall good enough its hard to see.

    Just what the doctor ordered for running wires under the house and through the walls for my surround speakers

    So lets be serious, if you are reading this review, you might be bored, or just like me and love to research everything you buy. IIs speaker wire, not really much to talk about here. Reason I am righting this and giving it only 4 stars is because this s*** is dangerous. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT under any circumstance place both of index fingers into the wire roll, then proceed to unravel it to locations around your room. You will basically slice your finger off like an IDIOT. Seriously, like blood everywhere, girlfriend screaming, dogs barking pandemonium if you do! You will have to have carpet cleaners come steam clean all the blood out, have your car professionally detailed, and ruin anything you were wearing. Its a big deal. So take this review to heart, because this will happen to you if you dont heed the 4 star review.

    Great value. I was able to run this into my wall, up to the attic and down into another room, to add speakers there.

    At the time of this writing, there are 82 reviews, and Im not going through them all again, but I did read a lot of them before purchasing.

    Great quality for the price, shipping was way faster than I expected.

    Great product to run through walls for a custom system, or use as regular speaker wires for self standing speakers.

    Their gauges are false. I bought 1000’ of 14 gauge and it looks more like 18 gauge. Wouldn’t buy again would definitely return if it wasn’t such a hassle.

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.
