Features
- 10 GAUGE THICK SPEAKER WIRE - GEARit Speaker Cable copper wires come in stranded twisted pair wire designs, long or short wire lengths, and thin or thick copper wires. Suitable for 12V wire gauge (12 volt wire gauge), but max voltage of 30V.
- COPPER CLAD ALUMINUM (CCA) - Solid bulk speaker wires made of CCA are lower priced than pure bare copper wire for the same conductivity with an aluminum core. GEARit CCA Speaker Cables provide the same conductivity with slightly higher resistance.
- SURROUND SOUND SPEAKER WIRE SETUP - Our thick audio wire and speaker wires are perfect for home stereo sound system setup, home theater, center channel speakers, tower speakers, bookshelf speakers, house sound systems, radios, loudspeakers, and more. Compatible with Klipsch, Sony, Onkyo, JBL, Yamaha and other speaker systems
- SOUND WIRE WITH POLARITY - GEARit 10AWG Speaker Wire audio sound cables come with colored PVC jacket for easy polarity identification. Typically, red speaker wire is positive and black speaker wire is negative
- FOR INDOOR STEREO, HOME THEATER SPEAKERS - Our GEARit sound wire cable comes in 25ft, 35ft, 50ft, 75ft, 100ft, 200ft, 250ft lengths and black, white, transparent black/blue, transparent black/red, transparent black/clear colored speaker wire.

Buyer's guide
Not sure about gauge? Two questions decide it.
How long is the run and how much power the amp pushes. Use the picker, then choose the conductor.

OFC vs CCA: which conductor fits your install?
Recommended · OFC
OFC for home theater.
Longer runs to surrounds and higher receiver power benefit from pure copper's lower resistance.

FAQ
Speaker wire questions, answered.
How do I choose the right length?
Measure the path the wire will actually follow, around furniture, along baseboards or through walls, then add 10–15% for slack. If you're between two lengths, go longer.
What gauge speaker wire do I need?
Under 50 ft, 16 AWG is fine. For 50–100 ft or higher-power amps, step up to 14 AWG. For runs over 100 ft or subwoofers, use 12 AWG. In-wall installs need a CL2 or CL3 jacket.
Can I run this speaker wire in walls?
Wire rated CL2 or CL3 is made for in-wall and in-ceiling installation. Check the rating in the specs above and on the jacket.
Is OFC better than CCA?
Oxygen-free copper has lower resistance than copper-clad aluminum, which matters most on long runs and at higher power. CCA is a budget option for short indoor runs.
Do I need banana plugs?
No. Bare wire works on any speaker terminal. Banana plugs make swaps faster and prevent fraying.
