Description

Speaker wires did not exist on the market for most of the 20th century, though speaker systems were very much the thing.

If there is too much resistance in the wire it reduces the control the amplifier has over the speaker, although this effect isn't huge until you start going over oh maybe 1/2 ohm or such. If you decide to hook up your wire without connectors, use a wire stripper to take about 3/8-inch of insulation off the ends of each lead, exposing the bare wire strands. Twisting grants a cable to carry multiple channels while maintaining the wires near, making them easier to handle because they are laid together. If you're looking for some speaker wire with connectors, check out our offerings from Audioquest, McIntosh, and Tributaries and read the reviews.Note For short speaker wire runs, a 18-gauge or 16-gauge wire is sufficient,depends on the impedance of the speakers. Crutchfield offers speaker wire in 50- or 100-foot rolls that can be trimmed according to your needs. The extrusion allows forming of the outer cover of the cable with a polymer resin coat in the exterior of the wire, bringing an extra protection layer and insulation. 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. For indoor speakers, you will need to ensure you are purchasing wires with a proper UL rating if they are run in ceilings or walls.

If you're looking for bare wire without connectors, we have some solid options from Audioquest and Austere.For example, 18 gauge wire connected to an 8 Ohms speaker should not exceed more than 32 feet in length from amp/receiver to speaker. KnuKonceptz Kord Ultra Flex 16 Gauge Speaker Wire – over sized Oxygen Free Copper speaker cable provides superior frequency response compared to smaller, conventional speaker wire. I don't use any banana plugs or anything, but if I went to 12 gauge or 14 gauge would I get a better sound quality? We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee. If you are unsure which size cabling is appropriate for your run, it is always safe to use a thicker wire to ensure your speakers are operating at peak performance.

But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. There are lots of different gauges, lengths, and connector types, and that can make choosing the right kind for your needs difficult. Our selection is extensive and each product has full performance documentation showing real power figures and current consumption.The good news is you don't need to follow any additional steps to activate your extended 6-year warranty. When it comes to cabling types, if you have outdoor speakers direct-burial cabling is always recommended.
