Amazon Basics 16-Gauge Speaker Wire 1.3 mm² - 30.48 m (100 feet), Bronze

Product Information

When determining which wire gauge to use, consider how far away the speakers are from your amplifier or A/V receiver. If you've listened to high-quality cables and connectors and they don't do it for you, more power to you! If the cables are run in the ceilings or walls of your house to conceal the cables, you will need to ensure they are rated CL2 or CL3. Getting the correct speaker wire gauge is one of the most overlooked but important things to get right.

I would either purchase a roll of 12 gauge wire for that or run 2 or 3pair of the 16 gauge per speaker. The thinnest wire you can get for your cable will depend on the impedance of your speaker and the distance the cabling has to run. All you have to do is unscrew the collar to reveal the hole and feed the bare speaker wire or pin connector in, then screw the collar back down. A spade connector slides around the binding post's collar and is secured once you screw the collar back down. With 4-ohm speakers you can run up to 24 feet on 16AWG wire and for runs up to 100 feet, 10 or 12AWG wire is recommended.

If your product becomes faulty in the first 6 years from purchase, we will repair or replace your unit with a brand new item. I think you knew the answer before you even posted to this forum and I don't think you'll follow anyone's advice.

A speaker cable is an electrical cable with two or more copper or silver sheathed conductors that transfer the information between the amplifier and the loudspeaker. The length of the cable will also impact the gauge of wire you need to get an optimal performance out of your speaker.

As part of our efforts, we are constantly working to make it easier for you to choose, purchase, and handle cables according to your specific needs. From there, you can run 2-conductor cables out from the volume control to both speakers in that location. Applying some force is often necessary the first time you're connecting banana plugs to your speakers and receiver. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.
