COMPLETE SCAM - DO NOT BUY!

Please, to avoid disappointment that you don't get what is shown and what you will pay for, go through this and find something else. I got this "14 gauge" wire today and it doesn't even come close. According to AWG (American Wire Gauge) charts, 14 ga stranded wire is 0.073 inch or 1.8542 mm in diameter. , which is LESS than 18 gauge wire. 18 gauge wire is .048 inch in diameter. So this bullshit isn't even 18 gauge, it's somewhere around 19 gauge. A good 14-gauge wire should consist of about 45-50 strands of 30-gauge, and ideally about 100-110 strands of 30-gauge. 34 gauge wire Why, you might ask, is this important? The wire carries electrons well to its "skin" or "outer" area. So the more filaments, the more surface area, which means a better flow of electrons (signal) that the amplifier outputs to the speakers. a to point b (amplifier to speaker). This company should be ashamed if they rent 18 gauge wire instead of 14 gauge wire, for example. I was so frustrated with this practice and my findings that I didn't even want to measure the overall length on the spool to see if it was 100 feet or not. My instinct says probably not. AMAZON should remove it from sale immediately. Selling such a product is against the law. Many, like me, buy at a performance-driven price point and don't have the technical knowledge to even know they've been robbed. I DO! I will try to consider other things. I buy them like so often. And I'll go back a few months to review the things I missed. Perhaps I will be an adviser to some. G
