Description of ๐Ÿ”Š High-Performance 12 AWG 30ft Speaker Wire by InstallGear - True Spec and Soft Touch Cable in Red/Black

30-FEET (9.1m) [ RED/BLACK 12 GAUGE SPEAKER WIRE ] - The lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire. Thicker wire presents less resistance to current flow. COPPER CLAD ALUMINUM (CCA) - CCA wiring provides a good conductor for transmitting audio. This is the most economical option when choosing speaker wire. RUGGED PVC JACKET - Allows free, wide and seamless adjustment of the required physical properties of this wire such as flexibility, elasticity, and impact resistance. EASY POLARITY IDENTIFICATION - This two color jacket allows for easy polarity identification. Making a polarity mistake could be damaging to your audio equipment. SOFT TOUCH JACKET - The jacket on our cable is designed with the installer in mind. The flexibility of this jacket allows for easy routing and has a low memory.

As part of my home theater upgrade:

After upgrading my projector (BenQ HT3550) and receiver (Onkyo TX-NR686), I wanted to rearrange the speaker wiring and run it along the walls and ceiling instead half lying. I needed longer cables for this and ended up buying a strand of this true 12GA copper clad aluminum (CCA) speaker cable. I bought them for the main reason for their cost: I was concerned about the sound quality at first, so I went online to research the sound quality of the CCA cables before buying them. In fact, I foundโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Best CCA Cable for $

Photo attached - at right is one of the best OFC cables in the audio shop (12 AWG+). They are oversized and use a flexible jacket. Shown on the left is InstallGear 12awg Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA), which also uses a similar flexible shell. InstallGear does a great job of being both transparent and reliable in presenting the specifications of the product. Here are some tips on when an honest company selling CCA wire will save you money without sacrificing quality compared to oxygen free copperโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old

Stranded conductors made of aluminum with a copper sheath!

These copper-plated aluminum conductors live up to their specifications. This electrical conductor consists of an inner aluminum core and an outer copper sheath. Using CCA makes them economical (aluminum core rather than pure copper which is insanely expensive) with minimal loss. BTW, as described, they are stranded and 12 AWG with red/black color for easy polarity identification. Yes! Even speakers are polarized and need to be wired correctly at both the speaker and the speaker terminals, andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Confident
