Voltive 10/2 Speaker Wire - 10 AWG/Gauge 2 Conductor - UL Listed in Wall (CL2/CL3) and Outdoor/In Ground (Direct Burial) Rated - Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) - 500 Foot Spool - Black

Client's existing system precluded 70V sound (which is what our firm recommends for longer runs and/or multiple speakers). So, we went to 10 gauge speaker wires to ensure nice sound despite long runs. Overall happy to have gone with this wire.What was great:1. Manufacturer service and communication have been beyond outstanding. My spools had lost some retaining rods in transit that held them together, and the manufacturer sent me a replacement set very promptly and free of charge. They've even texted me to confirm address. Six stars for this!2. The cable is very soft despite its weight. Nice enough to use as a regular speaker cable, outside direct burial applications. Rolls off the spool very easily, and isn't stubborn even in a cold weather.3. The cable is actually a twisted pair (at a fairly low rate of twist, but still). A welcome feature in terms of RF noise rejection vs. many other audio cables that aren't twisted.4. It takes solder very readily. Some cables have oil or contamination on the copper strands from the manufacturing process, which complicates the soldering - not an issue here.5. The outer jacket is slick and doesn't stick to each other (as some soft plastics tend to). Pulling it was a breeze even in tight spaces, with a bit of pulling grease.6. The cable has both used and remaining markers, and they are in a very easy to read white ink.Room for improvement:1. According to the manufacturer, the outer jacket isn't UV-stable. I had to run it in raceways or wrapped in electrical tape, outside of ground and shaded areas (on a plus side, I painted those to match the surrounding). I feel, all outdoor and burial cable outer jackets ought to be UV-stable, and the product listing and packaging should make it very clear if they're not.2. The cable structure is just a soft and thin outer jacket, some tissue paper to reduce internal friction, and two conductors (red and black). I wish the outside jacket were tougher - such as it was, I felt it was just a bit too fragile to drag multiple times across gravel etc., without worrying about the jacket getting pierced or worn through. I also wish besides the tougher outer jacket providing the mechanical protection, there should be a separate inner jacket providing the protection against water ingress, with gel between the two jackets. Clients pay a lot for labor, and I would like to be confident they will enjoy the results for many years. If the cable starts taking on water, its sonic performance will degrade, and I don't want to be worrying about that.3. I was very careful handling these (quite heavy) 500ft spools, but couldn't avoid cracking the 0.5" plywood spool side. I feel, the weight of the 500ft spools warrants a heavier built spool.UPDATE 2021 Jul 29: Upgraded from 4 to 5 stars. With cable connected and in use, performance has been excellent. Client is very happy.

This heavy speaker wire is super and very flexible. It tucked nicely under my base board.

No way around it, copper just keeps getting more expensive. But even at a higher price, for the price you pay, this is quality stuff and it measured with nearly no resistance whatsoever for the runs I used it for. Make your amps work not as hard for longer runs by paying for it up front. (And still much cheaper than price gouging esoteric speaker cable manufacturers.) Thumbs up.

Easy to strip and work with. Wish it had a more rounded outer profile.

Best $ per foot I could find. The wire was flexible even at 10g and looked high quality. I usually use monoprice wires for everything but at the the time they didn’t have 10g direct burial rates wire. I have no complaints and my Niles audio rock speaker with new sonos amp sound fantastic.

We liked the quality of everything from the packaging to the copper.The price is fair compared to what is out there.All the UL certifications for most jobs.

This product is exactly what I was looking for. Great quality and easy to pull packaging. I am Ordering 1000’ more of it!

It's better than c c aluminium
