Amazon Basics 12-Gauge Speaker Wire Cable for Audio Applications, 99.9% Oxygen-Free Copper, Red and Black Color Coded, 100-Foot, White

I purchased the Amazon Basics 12-Gauge Audio Speaker Wire Cable to set up my high-end entertainment center, and I’m very pleased with the results. I wanted a high-quality cable that was thick enough (12 gauge) to support premium banana plugs, and this cable absolutely fits the bill. It’s also made from 99.9% oxygen-free copper, which is a great plus for ensuring minimal signal loss and maximum audio clarity. The outer shielding is a bit tough to work with due to its rugged design, which is built to withstand outdoor use. While this made it a little more challenging to strip, I found that using a good wire stripper tool made the process much easier. The cable inside itself is very durable, and I was impressed that it didn’t fray or break off when I was installing the banana plugs—something I’ve encountered with lower-quality cables in the past. What I particularly like about this cable is its versatility—it works perfectly for both indoor and outdoor setups. Since I’m using it in my living room, I actually prefer the white shielding. It blends seamlessly with the walls and décor, making it easy to hide the cable while still maintaining a clean look. Overall, this is a great cable at an affordable price. It provides solid, reliable performance and is definitely up to the task of connecting my high-end audio system. If you’re looking for a durable, high-quality speaker wire that won’t break the bank, I highly recommend the Amazon Basics 12-Gauge Audio Speaker Wire Cable!

For the last 40+ years I’ve been buying speaker wire. I’ve had it all in every gauge. This wire is a solid 12 awg choice. The wire is fine quality as are the casings. If I had to say something negative it would just be the usual pain with the white outer sheath. As usual it is just a nuisance to strip back but it is very tough and will take the abuse of in wall runs easily. The length is great for the price and connections into the amazon speaker plugs is a snap. The insulation is as I said rather tough and tight around the wires so care is needed when stripping. Good for house and car so far. Haven’t hooked it up outdoors yet but that will be soon to replace some aged wire. The white appearance will be painted brown or the redwood color of deck. Sound quality is as would be expected, just fine.

This wire seems to be very good quality. The outer sheath/coat is not thick and bulky yet it is strong. I like it. I did not measure it with a caliper, but the AWG size seems correct. The cable is quite flexible. I found the deal, the cost per foot to be better than any other similar cables I had bought. Before I purchased it, I read that it was difficult to strip the red and black insulation from the copper strands but now that I have it, I find no such issue. It strips normal. I would buy this again.

Awesome deal! I bought this wire and wasn't expecting it to be so nice for the price. It's heavy duty, thick and beautiful copper! Don't hesitate to purchase this wire!

Speaker Cable is of sturdy construction and quality. Ideal for long speaker runs and a little on the thicker size. Connections, preparations and stripping of the wiring is standard. Somewhat flexible for a wall fish and attic installion.

Very good wire for the price. Would have been 5 stars but when you have to cut the outer casing it’s hard as hell to get off because of the speaker wire being twisted in the shell. Other than that it’s great.

The thing that struck me first about this speaker cable is just how thick it actually is. I guess I just didn't realize how it was going to be. It's about as thick as coaxial cable for like cable TV. Not saying that's a bad thing. I recently got some decent speakers after not really having any my whole life. In fact, for the past several years I've been listening to music through a soundbar. I hooked them up with some old, thin speaker wire that I've had forever. I got the new speakers to disappear as they say. I wasn't hearing sound from a left and right speaker; I was hearing the music from the front center of the room centered around the TV. Everything seemed packed there around the center. After replacing the old speaker wires with this, along with some nice banana connectors, I listened to some of the same stuff I listened to the day before the new cables and couldn't believe what I was hearing. The music was no longer just packed into the center. It was now all around. It was, is, absolutely incredible. It is like listening with headphones. I cannot believe this speaker cable made that much of a difference. That being said, maybe 14 gauge would have given the same result. The 14 gauge is quite a bit cheaper. No matter. I don't regret my decision one bit.

This is good basic speaker wire for home theater or sound systems. Quality is solid and the length is long enough to be genuinely useful for most setups. One tip: do yourself a favor and use banana plugs — they make for a cleaner, more secure connection and make installation much easier. Great value cable that does the job well.

It’s cable. It’s good. No surprises.

This speaker wire has surprised me it is the best value for money and best quality. The jacket is pretty stiff and pretty hard in colour white so you can run it through conduit under the wall or on under the floor. I ordered the 12 awg and trust me these wires are amazing to very thick and hard time putting through the Denon binding post but quality is amazing. I also have the C&E 14awg ones for 4k for surround speakers as 12 awg were not available and hard to wire across the conduit these ones beat the C&E any day. Setup- Q acoustic 3050i floor standers, q acoustic 3090 centre and sem for surround 3010 and monitor audio sub powered by Denon x 2700h with the LG IPS 4K 65 inch panel

La calidad es muy buena, pero es necesario que consideren que es un poco más grueso de lo normal. Lo use para mi equipo HIFi de sonido (bocinas Polk, Yamaha y Bose). El calibre es 12, el ideal para el tipo de equipo, por lo general ponen 14 o 16, pero a mi juicio no es el calibre correcto.

Es un cable de altavoces AWG12 libre de oxígeno de muy buena calidad a un precio bastante moderado. Los cables normales de AWG14 son suficientes para las distancias a las que se encuentran mis altavoces, pero la oferta me pareció muy buena y no me ha decepcionado en absoluto. Sigo pensando que mis antiguos cables son perfectamente válidos y que en una prueba ciega no voy a ser capaz de encontrar ninguna diferencia auditiva, pero bueno, con estos cables puedo presumir delante de mi cuñao.

Câble acheté en remplacement d'un 2x2,5mm acheté dans un magasin tout public, ce câble est parfait pour le prix. Attention, il est rigide et torsadé. Petite fraîcheur sur l'ensemble de mon système, son plus clair.
