The cable is thick (definitely appears to be 16-Gauge) and it works. No complaints, especially for the price. RCA AH16100SN 16-Gauge Speaker Wire (100 Feet)
it's speaker wire, it's 16 gauage speaker wire. I bought 14 and 18 guage wire to make sure I was getting the right wire. I used the 14 for the longer wire pulls (greater than 12 feet) and 16 guage for the shorter 10' pulls. I didn't use the 18 guage at all. The wire has 2 (two) different colored wires, one silver the other is gold. I used some great banana plugs that screw on from a company called Sewell, the plugs were on sale for about 5 bucks for a pack of 10.( http://www.amazon.com/Pair-Banana-Plugs-Screw-Connectors/dp/B003EGIE2S/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1288442903&sr=8-3-fkmr0 ) I installed surround sound 7.1 speakers 8 (speakers).The banana plugs make changing the receiver around so much easier, you don't have to un-screw the speaker wires so much. The sound is great, it's so realistic, it fools my dog. Technology today has change so much, but speaker wire is still so important. You can't cheap out on speaker wire. That doesn't mean you have to buy super expensive wire. Amazon had/has the best price for great cable, they beat the big box stores prices and quality hands down. Everything I ordered came days before it was promised. Amazon does a great job even if the products are dropped shipped. When people ask what I want for my birthday or xmas I tell'm give me a card from Amazon, i'll find something there. Great store, great products, great prices.

grear wire,love how it has a white line so u can teel the difference between both wires,its a little to thin for larger speakers,i recommend the 14 ga., but its easy to hide and is great for satellite speakers
I couldn't believe the price on this speaker wire. I was setting up a home theater system for my parents and they wanted to run some speaker wires under the carpet before their new carpet got installed. I wanted 16 gauge speaker wire since the rear speakers were about 20 feet away from the receiver. I went to Lowe's and they wanted almost $70 for comparable 100ft. 16 gauge cable. I got the cable and paid the $4 to have it over-nighted (definite benefit of Amazon Prime account when you need it) and it still only cost me $22. The speaker wire has a white line on one side to help you connect the positive and negative connectors on your receiver and speakers so you keep the polarity correct. A lot of expensive speaker wires seem to be going away with this and making it more difficult to connect your devices. Great speaker wire for the price. I would definitely buy again when needed.
I used to have the expensive major brand cables to hook up my speakers, but when we moved to a new house I needed longer runs. To save on some of the cost I purchased this instead of the "name brand" speaker cable and I can not tell the difference.
Doing some renovation on an old home and needed to get a couple more wires run for my polk 7.1 home theater speakers before I started on the duct work....i unfortunately ran out of the good CL2 14 gauge copper wire I ordered from Amazon so I ran down to Slowes home improvement and grabbed the best looking roll of 14 gauge speaker wire I saw. I had to do a solder joint in one spot, while soldering I noticed the wire turned shiny silver. Turns out this is crap CCA wire, which stands for Copper Clad Aluminum. If you need to solder this stuff you are left with aluminum strands which are not nearly as good at conducing electricity when compared to copper. Im pulling all 100ft of this stuff out and replacing it. The sad part is I only spent pennies more on the foot for pure copper.
Ive heard to go down (up in cross sectional area) a gauge if you are set on using CCA...
It wasn't nearly as expensive as some other *cough*Monster*cough* wires, but is the same thing. Wire's a pretty simple thing - stranded copper in a sheathing. The sheathing on this wire was very nice and thick, and as for the thickness of the wire itself; I needed to use the 14 awg stripper if I didn't want to pinch off some wire strands. Some people will argue that higher strand counts will give you better sound, which is crazy talk. The physics of that just doesn't work, the cross-sectional area is the same and that's what matters. - Home Theater - Speaker Cable - Audio Cables - Rca
