OSD Audio 12/2 Speaker Wire 12 AWG/Gauge 2 Conductor UL List in Wall Direct Burial Graded CL2/CL3 Oxygen Free Copper OFC 500 Foot Snag Free Easy Pull Heavy Duty Box - Black

2 spools purchased for a total of 1000ft. Aprox 700 ft used to connect the following set up— 1 TIC TFS50 Subwoofer, 2 TIC TFS25s omnidirectional speakers, and 4 TIC TFS10s to go around my pool and cover approximately 4000sq ft. of my backyard. They are driven by the Pyle PT8000CH amplifier and sourced by a Sonos Connect for Spotify and SiriusXM. The wire was flexible enough to be easily snaked through an interior wall, basement crawl space, 3/4” conduit to get outside and in a shallow trench (2 conduits needed because the 6 wires were too thick for one) . I directly wired each speaker to the amp, no “daisy chain”. The exterior sheath was thick enough to instill confidence that this will stand the test of time and the spooled box made it super easy to deploy the wire. Now to the speakers: Do they sound as good as my niles rock speakers that I left at my old house when we moved (stupid move on my part), no. Do they sound really good for 1/3 the price...Yes! Aprox $750 for speakers, $320 amp, $350 Sonos =$1,500 for a kick-ass loud as hell outdoor system. I’ll take it. Audiophile I’m not, but I enjoy loud Classic Rock, Hard Rock, Metal which pushes the speakers- no regrets on this purchase. Apologies in advance to my neighbors....I told my wife “if they complain, I won’t hear them over the music

I have used many different types of cable over the past six years, and I will say this is some of the higher quality cables I have come across. You can just as easily spend 30% less of other brands, and it would be just as sufficient, but so far I have had good luck with this. You can also just as easily purchase some GLS for double the price, and that would be some of the best quality cable you can get, but if you are budget minded, this will be more than sufficient. In the future, I would have no problem quoting this cable in future jobs.

Great wire and a great price. I wanted something for LED lighting that was heavier than 24g wire that was safe to use inside walls or anyplace in a house. This CL3 wire is perfect. I found it in black and white and bought both for dark wood cabinets or on white cabinets. It was more than heavy duty and I have no worries about connecting two sets of 24g wire to it or how far I have to run the wire.

I've been buying speakers from OSD for years. At entry level prices they make a decent quality product. This speaker wire is another example. Finely stranded, true 16 gauge copper, easy to strip, and there's a nylon rip cord to open the jacket if greater length needs to be removed. Professional feed box. All the good stuff, at a great price. I've never been disappointed by OSD!

I installed a bunch of this in our new home build and it worked great, the home is not done yet so I have not been able to hook anything up and listen yet. One complaint is the cable gets jammed up in the box sometimes, the delivery system to pull the cord out could be a little better.

The only reason I cut one star is, the sheathing is not as tight as I would have liked. It is quite loose. Barring this one factor, it is one of the best cable you can buy. Highly recommended.

Great quality speaker wire. I needed a very long spool to wire speakers in the backyard, the 12 gauge was necessary given my run is about 200ft to each speaker. This is heavy duty wire and the box reminds you of that just with its hefty weight. very happy with it, easy to connect and secure. I wish it came it black sheath to make it easier to hide in the bushes, but i guess this also help finding it and avoiding cutting it...

The cable is no for direct burial application neither for outdoor, it doesn't specified on the cable nor on the box outdoor or direct burial,The cable jacket just said it resist 75°C and box said water resistant.

the speaker wire quality is ok, but the actual lenght I dont think this is 500ft in a Box ,, i do Audio Video installation business and this is my first time to use this but i was suprise after i just run 7 lines in the living room and 1 in the bedroom, to my surprise the spool is almost done while the runs lenght i have used is only more or less 220ft total and the left over right now is less than 100ft
