Top wire @ Low Price..
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great wire..used this wire to build my new speaker wires...I also used the Monster Banana plugs which I bought from Best Buy...I saved lots of money making my own wires...I used the 16g wire....Monster banana plugs, some wire pants and some wire outer jacket covering to complete the job. The wire was easy to work with and stripped nicely...The sound of my system is topped notched...using this wire...do not waste your money on the other wire claims.

I only use this gage because it carries the full sound for my Klipsch Speaker System through out our Home. Klipsch Speakers are everywhere in our Home , and speaker wire has to have that weight.

Rockin' with Rocketfish Wire
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to fork out the "big bucks" for the Monster cable. But, I gave this Rocketfish 16AWG - Gold wire a try and was well pleased. So, save some money and get some quality cable from Rocketfish! Especially if you have a . . . L O N G run like 100 feet!

Needs better +/- distinguishing marks
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My biggest issue was markings to help you keep the red/black polarity are hard to discern. Sometimes it didn't seem the cable was marked at all - that is, there are gaps in the markings. Insulation was a bit thick so be sure wire cutters are super sharp so you don't end up cutting too deep and losing some conductor strands. Price for this gauge and length is good (in my opinion.)

Why pay more?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You can easily spend hundreds of dollars on fancy "boutique" speaker wire, but why? These affordable versions do the job quite nicely and will work exactly the same. Unless you're wealthy or a speaker wire geek powering mega buck speakers, this wire is all the wire you will ever need. I have these running really nice speakers in a home theater system and they sound fantastic. Here's the taste test: If you can honestly tell the difference between a really expensive speaker wire that costs considerably more than these in a blind A/B test, go for the more expensive wire to be sure. Short of that, buy these and take yourself out to dinner with the money you'll save!

Q: QuestionWhy does thicker speaker wire supposedly sound better than let's say 20 gauge?
Asked by Bill1.
- A:Answer I believe it has something to do with thicker wire will lower the resistance, so more of your wattage makes it to your speaker. There are other factors involved, but that is the most basic, and direct answer to your question. They typically say that 16 gauge is the minimum for feeding speakers within 100' of the amp. I hope that helps. Bert-23

Q: QuestionIf I have 2 speakers to hookup, do I need to purchase 2 of these wires?
Asked by KaraM.
This question was asked about the related product: Rocketfish™ - 30' Speaker Wire - 16AWG - Gold
- A:Answer Traditional speaker connections with two post connections (red and black clips or posts are the typical color connectors) require one speaker wire lead per speaker. The wire is sold in specifically in lengths that you cut to your needs. Two speakers 10 foot from the receiver needs 20 foot of wire. You'll need wire strippers/cutters this has heavy duty insulation

Q: QuestionWhy doesn't the packaging state the rating for this wire?This product's packaging does not state whether it is rated for in the wall use. Staff at Best Buy say they use it for this purpose but are unfamiliar with the rating standards.
Asked by Standards Compliant.
This question was asked about the related product: Rocketfish™ - 30' Speaker Wire - 16AWG - Gold
- A:Answer In the past, I installed home theatre systems for Best Buy. This wire is not "rated" for in wall use. All in wall qualified "CL" rated speaker wiring has a thicker sleeve (protective coating) inside the exterior protective coating (normally white in color) as well. The primary use of the additional protection is to prevent interference from electrical wiring. When running speaker wire in the wall, at some point it will always come near or cross with electrical wiring which can cause static or interference in the sound that emits from the speakers. In bad cases, you will hear a buzz or tone at times during quiet parts of movies, games, or shows.
