Review on πŸ”Š Power up Your Audio System with 12 Gauge High Performance Speaker Wire - Oxygen Free Pure Copper | UL Listed Class 2 (50 Feet Spool) by Richard Jarvis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

great wire. Ok Isolation.

Just by looking at this material you can tell that the copper is of good quality. Super shiny with lots of thin strands. Also find 12 AWG. Sometimes cheaper wire is smaller than advertised. However, the insulation leaves a lot to be desired. It's pretty thin for a speaker and not very flexible. It also doesn't come off easily at all, meaning you'll have to stick a box cutter or other narrow-bladed tool between the channels and risk cutting it in unintended places. It would be fine behind an entertainment center or in a wall, but I don't know if it would be advisable to run it under the carpet in a car where it can regularly experience friction. I have 14 AWG speaker wire from local equipment. magazine, and its insulation is easily twice the thickness of these wires, breaks very easily, and is much more flexible. However, it was probably about twice as expensive or more per foot, and the copper in those wires appears to be of a higher quality. Make sure you buy several ferrules and a crimping tool for this and all other stranded wire applications. They make working with stranded wires much more comfortable and provide a more reliable connection. You will change your life greatly.
