Monoprice 103844 250ft 12AWG CL2 Rated 2-Conductor Loud Speaker Cable (for In-Wall Installation), White

Nice quality! Easy pull and install. One of the best speaker cables I have installed.

At the time that I bought this 250 spool of 12AWG oxygen-free copper (not copper-clad aluminum) wire a year or 2 ago, it was the absolute best price I could find. As a matter of fact, I believe it was cheaper than other brands 14AWG OFC wire anywhere else. So the value is great. As for the wire gauge being true to size, I believe it is, or extremely close to it. Ive bought wire from multiple sellers/brands in the past, and a lot of times they advertise their wire one or two AWG sizes larger than it truely is. Due to that, I needed 14AWG wire but ordered 12AWG to make up for any upscaled false advertising. Regardless, this wire ended up being pretty true to size or very close to it. I used this to connect 4 big custom speaker enclosures that I hung in the upper corners of our 3-stall garage/shop. I still have some left that I occasionally use for automotive purposes, and I usually cut/pull the white loom/sheathing off first. However if you do remove that white sheathing, I dont recommend using it in a place that will either rub other objects that could wear through the insulation from vibration or movement, or melt through from heat. The wires have a thinner, cheaper insulation. I also dont really recommend using it in outdoor areas, and that includes on vehicles in engine bays or exteriors, because it wouldnt be as protective against the outside elements. The copper will likely oxidize much sooner in those applications. For indoor speaker wiring applications, its great.

high quality in-wall speaker wire..blows away local store inventory..used throughout my dedicate theater. Monoproce rules

Awesome wire at a great price.

Great price on this product. Also I really like that the strands are color coded making it obvious which strand goes with which binding post which has been a challenge on many previous speaker wire options I have used. Very happy with this purchase.

Good

This is very high quality cable.

The Product was just like it was advertised. No surprises. I would recommend this to a friend. The cable performed well.

4/2019 Monoprice Access Series 12 Gauge AWG CL2 Rated 2 Conductor Speaker Wire/Cable - 250ft Ive purchased falsely labeled wire in past so I always do weighing and counting: Entire spool with wire and cardboard spool = 7.14Kg 12 length with both conductors and all insulation = 26.7grams so seems reasonable that there is actually 250 on spool. One conductor stripped of all insulation = 8.7grams Number of strands in one conductor = 65 strands Mass of 12 or 30cm of bare conductor (65strands) = 8.7grams or 98% of expected 8.888grams which is well within my scale and measuring precisions. Spools is well constructed of heavy cardboard and plastic.

High quality wire at a great value. Works great for in-wall or is pretty good for interconnect situations as well. I would recommend buying a separate wire striper sized specifically and exclusively for stranded wire. If you see little one-inch strands of copper building up around your worksite, you need to change your stripping tool.
