I was sold on the 100′ length, 14 gauge, and price. The wire doesn’t appear to be 14 gauge at all. More like 16 gauge or smaller. I regretted buying this after I saw that Lowes had RCA 100′ 14 gauge at about the same price without the shipping cost.
I agree with the other reviewer, it doesn’t look like 14 gauge either.
The wire was a pain to strip because the strands inside the cable are very thin.
And I should also mention that the roll I received was a putrid purple color, so don’t count on it looking anything like the picture.
Although it is clearly marked 14AWG on the spool, this wire looks just like plain old 18 gauge lamp cord. I have a spool of of 16 gauge wire that is substantially thicker (the actual wire also, not just the plastic jacket). I didn’t return it because of the hassle, and I was impatient to wire my sound system. Live and learn. My advice is to buy speaker wire at your local store, even if it costs a few bucks more, because you can actually check it before you fork over your hard-earned $$$.
If you are looking for 14 GA wire because you intend to have long runs or put a good bit of power through it, this is definitely not the speaker wire you want to buy. The wire and the protective jacket combined are about 14 GA, which means each of them is ridiculously thin. The jacket offers little protection, and the strands are so thin that they look like they would break easily.
I was foolish and ignored the other reviews, because I thought even 16 GA would be alright. Many people get thicker wire than they need anyway. But I wouldn’t use this wire except on something like a Home Theater in a Box, or something similar with little power, short runs, and/or low expectations on sound quality. If you are thinking to buy this because it’s a good deal, then compare it to other 100′ spools of 18 Gauge speaker wire. Even then, consider that this likely has a thinner jacket than most other 18 GA wires you find, and you would probably be better off to go with something else.
i really should have read the reviews on this before purchasing, usually i do but i figured its 14 gauge, and 14 gauge is 14 gauge, but this did not feel or look like 14 gauge to me, i bought 16 gauge at best buy that seemed way better then this, i ended up getting some 14 gauge at home depot for $25 100′ and love it. and also it does not look anything like the photo.
