🔌 UL Listed Class 2 Bonded Zip Cord Wire - 50 ft. Oxygen Free Pure Copper, 18 Gauge Stranded Flexible Dual Conductor Review

No need to use thicker speaker cables. It's harder to work with and doesn't do any good. The theory of line loss over long distances is technically correct, but from a practical standpoint…………… well, it just doesn't matter. In fact, a 20 gauge works just as well for less money.

Also, many of them sell their wire under some sort of "gauge" that is nowhere near the AWG size. This MaxBrite wire is EXCELLENT, properly sized and with pure copper conductors. I will buy other sizes from them. soon.

I recommend it if you don't need to do a lot of soldering.

This wire has thicker copper strands and has the "old school" quality and durability I desire. Great for building speakers (which I also…
