Why this wire

Made for clean installs and clear sound.

Flexible PVC Jacket

Resists Moisture and Abrasion

Flexible PVC Jacket

The soft PVC jacket bends around corners and furniture without kinking, and protects the conductors from moisture and wear in home theater and car audio runs.

Easy Cut and Strip

Fast, Secure Terminations

Easy Cut and Strip

The jacket separates and strips cleanly, so you can finish bare-wire connections or add banana plugs, spade tips or pin connectors in seconds.

High-Strand CCA Conductors

2-Conductor Stranded Wire on a Sturdy Spool

High-Strand CCA Conductors

Fine-stranded copper-clad aluminum conductors stay flexible and carry clean signal to your speakers. Foot markers on the jacket let you measure each run straight off the spool.

Install Like a Pro

Install Like a Pro

Foot markers printed on the jacket let you measure each run, and the polarity stripe keeps positive and negative clear at both ends. Strips cleanly for terminals, banana plugs or spade connectors.

Copper-Clad Aluminum Construction

Copper-Clad Aluminum Construction

Fine-stranded CCA conductors conduct well and resist corrosion while staying lighter and more affordable than solid copper. Available 50 to 500 ft in black or white, and 100 ft in translucent blue, green, purple, red and yellow for color-coding car audio channels.

Exactly what I needed for my home theater

When I upgraded my home theater, I needed a quality speaker wire that was easy to work with and long enough to reach every speaker without worrying about signal loss. This GEARit 16-gauge wire checked all the boxes.The insulation is flexible enough to route around corners and through my entertainment setup without constantly fighting it, but it's still durable enough that I wasn't worried about damaging it while pulling it into place. The markings on the wire also made it easy to keep polarity consistent during installation, which saved a little time.The only downside had nothing to do with the product itself. The spool arrived with some shipping damage, but the wire was completely unaffected and worked perfectly. That was clearly an issue with the carrier, not the seller or the product.After getting everything connected, my system has been performing flawlessly. If you're wiring up a home theater or replacing old speaker wire, this is a dependable option that gets the job done without spending a premium.

GREAT WIRE AT A GREAT PRICE!!!

This is the real deal!! The wire itself is the actual gauge its supposed to be. The jacket isn't overly thin or thick and its nice and flexible. The wire solders well and isn't brittle. There's even footage markings along the wire! If you look at the picture, I looped the entire 200ft roll for a single 400ft run and used a calibrated meter to test resistance. The meter shows 2.6 ohms per 400ft which works out to 6.5 ohms per 1000ft which is about as good as 16 gauge CCA gets. This is quality stuff. (note the roll didn't come taken apart as shown, I had to take it apart to do the loop test).

Reliable 16AWG Speaker Wire with a Unique Stylish Design!

This 16AWG speaker wire is fantastic—high-quality and performs exactly as expected! It delivers excellent sound transmission with no noticeable distortion or loss in audio quality, making it perfect for any home audio setup or sound system. The wire feels durable and well-made, so I’m confident it’ll hold up well over time.What really sets this speaker wire apart is its unique transparent black and yellow design. It’s such a refreshing change from the typical plain red and black wires. Not only does it look more modern and stylish, but the distinct coloring also makes it much easier to identify and work with when setting up or organizing your audio system. It adds a little extra personality to the setup, which I really enjoy!Overall, I’m extremely happy with this purchase. It combines function, reliability, and aesthetic appeal all in one. If you’re looking for a speaker wire that performs well and stands out from the ordinary, I’d highly recommend this one. I absolutely love it!

Works great

I needed this speaker wire for installing and connecting the wall mounted speakers in my shop. It was easy to use ( cutting, stripping, etc) and I wanted the white wire coating so it would hopefully blend in with the wall coloring better. But I still painted over it anyway just to try and blend it in more. I recommend this wire and I would buy it again if needed

Good wire, poor shipping packaging

Wire is good, unfortunately whoever packed the two rolls did not use any packing material so the metal ends of the rolls are all banged up from the rolls being lose. Image shows how I received it.

High quality, good looking speaker wire.

This speaker wire appears to be of high quality construction. The insulation is quality and stripped nicely. Had a very nice looking black case with the + having a red stripe. I did run some sound tests and they did well.

Great quality

The packaging was appropriate. The insulation was payable and easy to remove as needed when stripping the ends. Would buy again! Used this product to wire speakers throughout a 2000 sq ft office. It was easy to pull and didn’t kink during the install.

Excellent product

Good quality, i replace the logitech z906 cable with this, and works fine.

Some r.I.g.
Color is light gray NOT white

This wire is to be run across a white ceiling. It isn’t white. Now I have to paint it, not what I planned at all! (For various reasons wire moulding / conduit are not acceptable in this application)

Very good, flexible, speaker wire!

I bought this for my college dorm. I used it with my desk speakers and out in my apartment’s living room for our audio setup. It works great. I really like how one side is plain white, so I can have that side facing out from the wall and the wire is barely noticeable. Also, this wire is very flexible, yes it is 16 gauge wire, but nevertheless, I have used a lot of speaker wire in my life and this wire is every flexible for its gauge. It is great for sharp corners and shaping it around my desk.I am part of a guys dorm that like’s to party, so you can guess how loud we play our music. In our living room I use this cable to power two 8” Driver 3-way Yamaha speakers powered by a Yamaha Adventage receiver that puts out about 100 Watts RMS per channel. The speakers are our rear speakers in a 4.1 channel setup, so both wires are about 28 feet long. We have had no issues with the wires getting warm, and I do make sure to check when we are blaring music.Then on my desk, I use a Fosi Audio 2.1 channel amp that’s 160 Watts max per channel. While I do not know the RMS on this amp, I can say it works great, and the wires again worked well with this amp.Overall, I highly recommend this wire. I will definitely purchase more when I need it. (Like when we make our living room a 7.1 channel setup..hehe)

It blew them out of the water, I’m still using it

I liked the loudness of it and it was very cheap for the amount of work it put out.

WAY bigger than 16 Gauge (Title says AWG but picture shows standard)

I had to strip these with the 12 Gauge hole. The whole point was for me to get smaller and this was bigger? I can also see they are not Copper, but aluminum coated w/ copper, verified by other 1-Star

Good everyday zip cord cable

The copper wire strands tin easily with solder. The insulation can take the heat of tinning wires with only minor curling of the plastic. The zip line splits as designed. It's good 16-awg zip cord.

Good wire for the money

Wire came in a spool (I ordered 100ft of 16AWG), one side is solid white the other has product info and a black line to distinguish neg., and a distance count every foot. The strands, while CCA, are fairly thick, thicker than many wires I've used around this price point. I'm using for rear channel speakers for home theater, I paid just under $14 for the 100' spool, Id buy again.

Got our speakers up and running again

We recently remodeled our building and had to completely rewire. These speaker wires were a lifesaver! Our indoor and outdoor speakers are working again and they sound fantastic! Great value, would recommend!

It did what I needed it to do.

I have it connected from my Sony STR-DH550 receiver to my Sony SSCS5 bookshelf speakers using bare wire as my connection instead of banana plugs like I see some others use. Sound quality is good from movies to video games. However since this is my first time purchasing speaker wire, I don't know much of a difference sound quality would be if I used other brands of speaker wire to make a comparison of some sort. I have to branch out and use various speaker wires in the future to form an opinion on that but it does the job and I'm satisfied with it.

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.
