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

As seen in the attached photos, the spool is crap - the end disks are cheap cardboard that falls apart and the central round core is cheap plastic that breaks even in shipment. All 4 250 boxes arrived with broken plastic center cores and one cardboard side broken off. So, if you try to pull, the wire unspools all over the floor. (See second photo.) I have had the same problem of crappy packaging on their 1,000 foot Cat6 network wires. If you carry them by proper grip holes, the cardboard tears and installation is a total PITA. If you only want to use them at home for a single install, go for it. But, if you do this for a living, take a pass and buy a higher quality product. You should not run your business with these products. Ive been buying Monoprice for many years and they seem to have really cut a lot of corners and cheapened things over the past 24 months. There is definitely some value for the money, but the aggravation and problems are starting to eliminate any competitive advantage they have.

Thinner sheathing than some other wire I bought but ran fine, sounds good. Spool sucks though!

Excellent quality and fair price. What more can you ask of items from Monoprice?

as expected.

I needed some quality speaker cable for a new home theater installation and immediately went to Monoprice for my cable. They make very good cable and their prices are amazing for what you get. Ive seen reviews in A/V magazines that say this cable is just as good as those costing ten times more, and from what I can tell its just as good as the Monster cable one of my friends insists on using. I went with 12AWG not because I needed it at this time, but because I was trying to future proof my cable install ( its a pain to run this stuff after your walls are covered!) Like other cable types this one also has the foot increments on the cable so you know how long a run was and how much cable you have left. Overall great cable, you will not be disappointed in this or any other Monoprice cables.

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

I managed to grab a 250 roll of this 12 AWG cable only $80. Been wanting 12 AWG cable given that I have about 50 runs through my walls to my rear surround speakers. Just couldnt justify the cost so I watched and waited. This is a great cable. Glad I managed to snag it cheaper than normal!

500 feet later, wire appears to be good wire, will not know for 45-60 days, still wiring, then sheet rock, texture, paint, tile, then awesome surround sound!!!!!!!! Wire is beefy and well twisted.

Attention Pretentious Audiophiles. This cable is cheap and awesome. Buy it.

I would give them a 5 star if I could compare the difference in sound but I’m no expert. Bought it off my web research for distance and speaker ohms demand. 8 ohms at a distance of 100’. Overall product is well built and pulled through the house easy with little effort. Bought the brand because it was recommended by a home theater installer.
