Clean, clear sound from oxygen free copper speaker wire.
The Good

The oxygen free copper wire makes the sound from your system much clearer and interference free. While they are colorless, their clear jacket is still easy to decipher. You can determine the positive from the negative easily.

The Bad

On one hand, speaker wires with clear jackets look better and are better than some of the colored wires out there. On the other hand, their markings are not as simple as when positive is one color and negative is another.

The METRA Ltd S12-50 12 Gauge: Does Clear Jacket Speaker Wire Make a Difference?

Clean, clear sound from oxygen free copper speaker wire.

The METRA S12-50 12 Gauge speaker wire is constructed out of oxygen free copper and well sheathed, which makes the sound of your music clearer and crisper than do overproduced run-of-the-mill cables found in chain stores. It is definitely the type of wire you would want to use when setting up a high definition system with a wall run or your personal home stereo.

Since this speaker wire is sold by the spool, the 100 foot is definitely a better bang for your buck; the larger the wire, the cheaper it tends to be. Plus, chances are you might need more in the future, so you might as well get the larger spool and save some cash. With that said, it is extremely important to measure out exactly how much speaker wire you will actually require for the wall installation prior to ordering this cable because you always want to get more than you need just in case you run into some trouble.

This METRA S12-50 12 Gauge speaker wire is very flexible, but certainly durable enough for any of your wiring needs. When you install any type of surround system cabling, you need to ensure that all wires for each set must be equal in length in order to get proper sound effect.  Word of the wise: When you are looking to measure out how much wire you will need, take into consideration that even though speakers will be placed at different places in your room running from the receiver, you still need to make sure that each speaker wire is of equal measurement.

METRA’s S12-50 12 Gauge speaker wire is not exactly bargain basement, but it doesn’t break the bank either. METRA definitely did this one right. Buy the METRA S12-50 12 Gauge speaker wire with the comfort of knowing that you are getting the best quality of sound for your money.
