Features of 16 Gauge Speaker Wire
- 100-FEET (30.5m) [ RED/BLACK 16 GAUGE SPEAKER WIRE ] - The lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire. Thicker wire presents less resistance to current flow.
- OXYGEN-FREE COPPER (OFC) - Oxygen Free Copper wiring provides a superior electrical conductor to aluminum because it does not expand or contract with heat and can carry a higher current load.
- 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.

The wire is thinner than 16 Gauge, more like 18 or higher gauge. Compare to the 16 gauge wire I bought from Best Buy, it is no way close to 16 gauge so I returned it.

I feel like this product is being deceptively sold. Don't be fooled!

Thinner than it should be and package arrive "used" even though not advertised as such. 2 stars for flexibility and softness.

Using this speaker wire in a car audio install. The wire is closer to 20 AWG than it is to 16 AWG. The jacketing on the wire is flexible and has a nice look and feel. It’s getting hard to find a good OFC speaker wire in a true size.

When I got these 16 gauge wires to set up remote speakers, I didn't notice anything unusual.However, when 200 feet I bought was gone, and I needed more wire to finish the work urgently, I bought another 16 gauge speaker wires roll from a local shop, which turned out to be just a bit more expensive than these wires. What a difference in wire diameter! Clearly, the ones I purchased from Amazon were of a wrong size, visually of 20 gauge or so (in comparison to a new 16 gauge cable). The marking on wires is still "16", which is not what they are.Having that thin speaker wire would seriously affect the sound on the distance I need (about 30 feet long), impacting the impedance. Now I would probably need to rewire everything I did with a real 16-gauge speaker wires... Not counting several days spent doing the work.The only positive note for these cables is that they have a nice color and soft to work with (probably due to their thin wire...).

Flexible. Haven't had any degradation issues. Seems a little undersized for 16 gauge, but still fits my wattage needs.My amp can send 100 watts rms. Although, the door speakers are probably only getting around 65rms.For the price it feels like high quality cabling, of course there are better 16 gauge products out there. For 16 gauge OFC this hard to beat.

Title says it all, the wire inside the jacket is simply not 16 AWG. It might even be as low as 22. I would say the entire cable, jacket included isn't much bigger than 16 gauge. It does look pretty nice and at least it looks like it's OFC but otherwise false advertising. Also for some reason I noticed some red colour somehow rubbed off the cable jacket and onto the plastic wrap it was in. I'm not sure if that would be an issue but it's possible the cable could rub and stain some things that way.

I've installed my fair share of speakers and wiring (old school) but in this case, I bought this roll of wire to use as relay control (switch) wire, it's very flexible. I did find it nessicery to add some heat shrink tubing in some places to prevent abrasive surroundings from damaging the wire. Hard to find real copper wire, most advertising that I looked at didn't disclose that what they were selling was a Copper Clad product, I didn't discover that fact before looking into the specifications section.

Maybe you can get better, but you won't need better wire unless you're planning on putting together a competition-worthy aftermarket system. This wire is handling 4x door speakers and 2x amps powering those speakers plus two shallow mount subwoofers. I don't think there is any loss in performance - not that I could tell because everything gets more than loud enough so I never run my system beyond ~66% volume anyways. 16 gauge is plenty for both subs and smaller speakers as long as you're not running the lines really long (say, 25' or more). If you need to run really high powered systems (well over 100W RMS per channel) or have a long cable run to deal with then maybe step up to 14 gauge, but this is plenty good for my system that totals ~900W RMS at the moment (I'm making some swaps that will actually drive the total system power right up to 1000W RMS and expect there to be no issues using this wire). I have no complaints here - get this wire if you're OK with the price (I think it is competitively priced). Don't cheap out and get aluminum braided/composite stuff. That's no good at longer runs and can't handle higher power needs.

Never thought I would write a review on speaker wire, but this stuff is awesome. The jacket is very nice, kind of rubbery but not, has a silky smooth feel to it, almost like suede, and at the same time VERY flexible and light. Does not kink and lays completely flat. The wire itself seems pretty strong as when I stripped the wire ends there were no pieces flaking off that I could notice. I am not using this for an audiophile setup so I can't give opinion on sound, but they do work well for my application. I will say the only negative I found is that with certain types of wire strippers, the outer jacket was difficult to strip. I have three different style of strippers...The first 2 strippers did not work, one literally slipped right off the jacket the second just kinda tore at the jacket...last stripper I used worked perfectly, like it was made for this wire, and I was off to the races. here is a link to the stripper I used that worked flawlessly. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WFL122J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
