Review: Great deal - Great product and price
Review: Probably one of the best speaker wire I have used - Never thought I would write a review on speaker wire, but this stuff is awesome. The jacket is very nice, kind of rubbery but not, has a silky smooth feel to it, almost like suede, and at the same time VERY flexible and light. Does not kink and lays completely flat. The wire itself seems pretty strong as when I stripped the wire ends there were no pieces flaking off that I could notice. I am not using this for an audiophile setup so I can't give opinion on sound, but they do work well for my application. I will say the only negative I found is that with certain types of wire strippers, the outer jacket was difficult to strip. I have three different style of strippers...The first 2 strippers did not work, one literally slipped right off the jacket the second just kinda tore at the jacket...last stripper I used worked perfectly, like it was made for this wire, and I was off to the races. here is a link to the stripper I used that worked flawlessly. https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B07WFL122J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Wire For Aftermarket Systems
*by K***A on May 26, 2020*

Maybe you can get better, but you won't need better wire unless you're planning on putting together a competition-worthy aftermarket system. This wire is handling 4x door speakers and 2x amps powering those speakers plus two shallow mount subwoofers. I don't think there is any loss in performance - not that I could tell because everything gets more than loud enough so I never run my system beyond ~66% volume anyways. 16 gauge is plenty for both subs and smaller speakers as long as you're not running the lines really long (say, 25' or more). If you need to run really high powered systems (well over 100W RMS per channel) or have a long cable run to deal with then maybe step up to 14 gauge, but this is plenty good for my system that totals ~900W RMS at the moment (I'm making some swaps that will actually drive the total system power right up to 1000W RMS and expect there to be no issues using this wire). I have no complaints here - get this wire if you're OK with the price (I think it is competitively priced). Don't cheap out and get aluminum braided/composite stuff. That's no good at longer runs and can't handle higher power needs.
