Garbage. Misleading description. DNB

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Revainrating 1 out of 5

THIS CABLE IS PERMANENT AND MUST BE USE ONLY.

THIS CABLE IS NOT SUITABLE AND SHOULD ONLY BE USED IN CAR AUDIO OR HOME SPEAKERS BUT I WOULD NOT USE IT. JE. NOT AS DESCRIBED OR EXPECTED WHEN DELIVERED.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • boring packaging

Not genuine #8 AWG with better power and ground wires

Not genuine #8 AWG as advertised. The measured wire is #10 AWG - I'm not wrong - it's #10 AWG wire! I have no idea how they get away with the advertised #8 rating. Pyramid ad aside, the cable isn't that size, it's ok and easy to power and work with.

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • weak

I should have read the reviews

As others have said if you look at it and measure it is about 10 AWG instead of the real 8 AWG. Also, it's not solid copper. It's copper-plated aluminum. I measure the resistance of the entire 100 foot coil and the resistance was significantly greater than what a 100 foot oxygen free copper wire should be.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Upgradeable

High quality 10 gauge wire.

is only 10 gauge but I knew it. My amps are only 200 watts and this cable can handle them with ease. It's quite flexible when it's not cold outside and the jacket is quite durable. I haven't had any corrosion issues and all my power cords are routed outside of my car. The reason I went with this, even though I know it's not a true 8 gauge, is because it has a thicker shell and gives me a little bit more confidence. Although I deducted a star for false advertising.

Pros
  • Economy Wire OFC (oxygen free copper)
Cons
  • Some little things

Not as described - caution

Conclusion - after years of buying from Revain, this is the most misleading item I have ever received. Folks, it's "STRAINED SPEAKER WIRE"! This "NOT" wire is 8 GA GRND. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. Product description is misleading. What I need to record (based on YOUR description) is a SOLID CORE COPPER WIRE; - - The solid core copper wire is REAL "GROUND" wire, not stranded speaker wire. With postage and gas for what it is, I "sold" it to my nephew for half what I paid for it. And that's the onlyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 8 gauge BLACK power cord, translucent "matte" insulator
Cons
  • Not bad

but i was disappointed so it was returned immediately.

I was hoping but was disappointed so it was returned promptly. This wire is absolutely NOT as it is sold. It's way past 8 gauge, and it's also NOT copper wire. Some people might not notice this or think it's a big deal, but it could be a security issue as it can lead to a rejection because it's not what it's advertised and sold as. Then consider that it is not copper and the amount of current it can handle drops even more. Guess what happens when you put a 70 amp fuse on a wire that can onlyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Oxygen free fine stranded copper wire, 100ft spool with 6.5mm cord Sold as: unit
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
