    no issues, cheaper on amazon than anywhere else I looked. Glad I bought the 250 roll. used all but about 10, stereo sounds awesome

    A lot of recommendations on the Home Theater Facebook group and they werent wrong. Carries the sound flawlessly

    Its great wire, thicker gauge than my electrical wire (lol) and sounds great. It was just barely enough for my electrician to wire 10 in-wall speakers for my home theater setup in my decent sized family room, so that may help you gauge how much wire you need.

    12 gauge wire. This is true 12 gauge wire. It is very thick and 100% copper. High quality speaker wire.

    Great quality wire has plenty of strands. My speakers sound great with these. No issues.

    This is a high quality product for over 50 runs.

    This was the best quality for the best price I could find for the CL2 rated 12AWG. Beware of some of the other cables you find on sale on Amazon that say 12AWG but are actually 14AWG (read the reviews)

    I under bought for my project, and I initially purchased the media bridge version. After seeing 250ft roll for just $30 more than what I paid for 100ft of the other brand, I kicked myself, then bought the larger roll. Having used both brands, Id recommend buying whichever one you can get a better deal on at the time. Between the media bridge and monoprice version of the 12AWG in-wall cable and I give the monoprice a slight advantage just based on price. After working with the two cables, they seem identical. The monoprice conductors may be marginally easier to strip, but I honestly think these two are made in the same factory and just have different names stamped on them. Id recommend buying whichever one you can get a better deal on at the time.

    Good cable. Little stiff but was easy to work with.

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.
