Speaker Wire 16 Gauge, CCA, 100ft, Purple/Black

16 AWG Gauge Speaker Wire Cable Stereo, Car or Home Theater, CCA (100 Feet) by Install Link
seems pretty good to me. haters gonna hate. look this is the copper clad aluminum stuff. and there might be some snobs that say that isnt going to sound right. i dont know if that is true or not, i assume it is, but i might be making it up. i was actually a little curioujs myself if it mattered. i dont think it does. it terms of transmission of signal. maybe it does, maybe it pulls errant radiowaves in like a satelite. but i doubt it. they would shield it if that were the case. anyway, i have argued elsewhere that cd vs vinyl is a silly thing to argue about. because it doesnt matter. fix it with eq. i write and rtecord my own music and sort of music i play has alot of notes. alot. intricxate complex patterns, and i am fussy aobut detail. but some arguments by some folks just dont make sense. i dont think there is any difference noticeble between copper vs copper clad. its about electrons moving thru a conduit. anyway, what does matter, if your not a frivolous and silly person is price. and the copper clad aluminum is less than half the price. if you are unsure and are doing a complicated set up on expensivce gear, get a sample of both types and A – B it. if you notice a difference that matters spend accordingly. for me even being a fussy tech-death musician, it does not. the aluyminum makes it cheaper the copper makes it possible to solder. use flux. it will be fine. mucdh more economical. some things are more expensive because marketing and old ideas prevail. just get a sample, and A-B it. and know for sure. for me its simple. cheaper here makes sense.

Usually not a fan of CCA, but doing a fresh rewire of my 2nd car adding components, amps and xovers. I did not wish to recycle old wiring. And as this is not an SQ build or super high wattage build, CCA was acceptable for my needs.

I like that there are multiple jacket colors available which make it easy to identify Front vs Rear or Left vs Right if you so wish. Wiring is decently flexible and the jacket seems like it is pretty good quality and should hold up well.

It’s a reel of 16 gauge speaker wire so there’s not a ton to say about it but I’ll do my best. The protective jacket seems nice and pliable, while the different colors for each conductor makes figuring out which wire you have easier than it might otherwise be. The wire lays flat, making routing the runs easier than some others I’ve used. The only downside I see is it’s copper-coated aluminum rather than solid copper but it’s cheap. Overall, it’s a good option for anyone looking for speaker wire but not wanting to spend a ton on it.

I avoid copper clad aluminum for most use cases, but for speakers at reasonable power levels it really makes sense to save your money and just use copper clad aluminum. The jacket is very tough. It was hard to split the conductors apart without cutting it. It should be very abrasion resistant. But it also has a soft feel and is very flexible. High strand count means there is still a fair amount of copper in there. It is good speaker wire and you get a lot for the price.

Very nice flexible (silicone?) insulation, translucent blue insulation looks slick, and the jacket is marked, making identification easy. I can even live with CCA, for 100 ft for about $15. Pretty good wire at a great bargain, as far as I am concerned.

This works fine for my application for running ceiling speakers throughout the porch. For demanding high wattage or sub applications you might want to consider larger wire and all copper.

This wire is nice an flexible. It is sized properly at 16AWG. It strips easily and holds a crimp well. Good value.

Wiring a room for sound is difficult when you have to keep your pluses and minuses straight. This wire was colour-coded, fit the requirement completely, and was reasonably priced.

Good wire

Just as listed. Really nice wire, tinned copper and nice and flexible jacket.

I have them installed and working great.

Works perfectly. Price is reasonable
