    Ive ordered this cable on a few occasions in various lengths for in-wall projects and home and for friends. Its obviously a pretty thin wire at 16 AWG but its sufficient for most any casual home theater use, and the cover is a very high quality material that resists tearing even through tough wall pulls.

    I bought monoprice speaker cable after reading reviews this was for my cinema setup because their are long distances it’s recommended to use a thick gauge cable plus with wire that is to be installed in walls and ceilings you should use a fire resistance wire this monoprice cable is great value also their are different length rolls

    The wire seemed to be of good quality. I am pleased with it. I used it to run through my attic and it is very durable and very easy to use. There isnt much to say about it because its only speaker wire but I think it was well worth the money.

    Works as advertised. A bit expensive for the type.

    This works exactly the way it was identified! Great for speakers that have a sub and tweeters. Great quality easy to work with and cord is labeled just like picture! I moved stereo speakers across the living room and ordered this cord so I could run the wires along the perimeter of the room without being notice. The white blends into the wall excellent!

    Used this wire for my Sonus powered Paradigm in-ceiling speakers. Worked perfectly! Well constructed! Music sounds fantastic!

    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.

    Im very happy with this wire and would 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.
