Twisted pair wire is used to reduce unwanted noise. Found in the higher end speaker wire and RCA cables, twisted pair wire increases the overall quality of the sound and can help cancel out extra noise.

This the how long the item is. When purchasing an item that requires a specific length (such as RCA interconnect cables or speaker wire), please make sure that the length of the item is long enough for your needs.
Question Mark Icon of Question Mark
The measurement of the diameter of wire. As the gauge number increases the size of the wire decreases. As the wire gauge number decreases, the diameter of the wire increases. For example, an 8 gauge wire is going to be larger than a 16 gauge wire.

When purchasing wire, make sure that you know what size, or gauge of wire is needed.

Question Mark Icon of Question Mark
This is the main color of the item.
Question Mark Icon of Question Mark
The material that the wire is made of. Copper & aluminum are the most commonly used materials. OFC - Oxygen Free Copper is the ideal choice for wire material. Copper is a superior electrical conductor, & does not expand or contract with heat. CCA - Copper-Clad Aluminum is a suitable choice for lower powered or budget applications. The power transfer is not on par with OFC, but this material offers significant savings.
Question Mark Icon of Question Mark
Since 1857, The AWG (American Wire Gauge) system has been the standard for measuring the diameter of wire. AWG standard is the measure of bare wire to find true gauge. Companies that do not follow AWG Standards include the thickness of the wire jacket which means the actual wire is not "True to Gauge".

    FAQ Frequently asked questions in Car Speaker Wire


    High-quality car speaker wire is essential for achieving optimal audio performance in your car audio system. The speaker wire serves as the pathway for the audio signal to travel from the car stereo or amplifier to the speakers. Using low-quality or inadequate speaker wire can result in signal loss, reduced power delivery, and diminished sound quality. High-quality speaker wire with appropriate gauge size ensures minimal resistance, allowing the audio signal to flow efficiently without degradation. It helps deliver clean and accurate sound reproduction, providing better bass response, clear midrange, and crisp highs. Investing in good-quality speaker wire is a small yet significant step to ensure you get the best possible sound experience from your car audio system.
    The appropriate gauge of speaker wire depends on the power requirements of your car audio system and the distance between the amplifier and the speakers. Generally, the lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire, and the lower the resistance. For most car audio systems, 16 or 14-gauge speaker wire is sufficient. If you have a high-powered system or a longer wire run, you might consider using 12 or 10-gauge speaker wire to minimize signal loss. Using thicker wire than necessary does not harm your system, but it can be more challenging to route and may not provide a significant improvement in sound quality. It's essential to consult your car audio system's specifications or seek advice from car audio experts to determine the appropriate gauge of speaker wire for your specific setup.
    Using regular electrical wire for car speakers is not recommended. Regular electrical wire is not designed to handle the specific demands of car audio systems. Car speaker wire is specially designed to be flexible, durable, and resistant to environmental factors like heat, moisture, and vibrations. It is often made of oxygen-free copper or copper-clad aluminum to ensure efficient signal transmission and minimal resistance. Regular electrical wire may not have the same level of flexibility or protective properties as car speaker wire, leading to potential signal loss and poor audio performance. Additionally, regular electrical wire may not be rated for use in automotive applications, which could pose safety risks. To ensure the best audio quality and system reliability, always use car speaker wire specifically designed for car audio installations.
    To determine how much speaker wire you need for your car audio system, you'll need to measure the distance between the amplifier and each speaker location. Add up the total length required for all speakers in your system, considering both positive and negative runs. It's a good practice to add a few extra feet to each measurement to account for any unexpected routing or installation adjustments. Once you have the total length, consider the gauge of the speaker wire you intend to use, as thicker wire can be less flexible and may require more careful routing. Many car audio retailers sell speaker wire in various lengths, or you can purchase it by the foot. If you are unsure or need assistance, consult a car audio professional who can help determine the appropriate length and gauge of speaker wire for your specific setup.
    Yes, using oxygen-free copper (OFC) speaker wire offers several benefits for car audio systems. OFC is a type of copper with reduced oxygen content, which makes it highly conductive and resistant to corrosion. These properties allow for efficient signal transmission and minimal signal loss, resulting in better audio performance and sound quality. OFC speaker wire is also more flexible and easier to work with compared to other types of copper or aluminum wire. The superior conductivity of OFC reduces the risk of overheating, ensuring safer and more reliable operation. While OFC speaker wire may be slightly more expensive than other types of wire, the improved audio performance and durability it provides make it a worthwhile investment for serious car audio enthusiasts. When quality and performance matter, OFC speaker wire is an excellent choice for enhancing your car audio system.
