Speaker wire is a used to make large electrical
connections between audio and loudspeakers. Speaker wire runs
from an amplifier to each speaker. Electrical current is what
carries the audio and the audio information is what you will hear
out of the speakers. Speaker wire can be used to conveniently
wire a stereo in your house or home theater. This speaker wire
is made up of two electrical conductors used to help distinguish
and identify polarity. The conductors are insulated with PVC jacking,
sustaining them from yellowing over time. The gauge size refers
to the thickness of the cable, and is also an important factor
when choosing the right speaker wire for your particular project.
Smaller gauge wire is in reality thicker than larger gauge. Generally
speaking, speaker cables for home audio systems run on between
10 to 20 gauges. Using a smaller gauge is important if planning
on running wire for hundreds of feet mainly because larger gauge
speaker wire allows for power loss and loss of a strong signal.
This bulk speaker wire comes delivered on wooden spools, which
keeps wire from tangling. Speaker wire is very important on an
audio system, and can have strong impact on the final quality
of the sound.
