12AWG speaker wire


I'm replacing my speaker wire with 12AWG wire, There are different 12AWG wire, The ones I looked at the 1st consisted of 65 strand 30 AWG and the 2nd 294 strand 36 AWG. Looking for thoughts on which is better?

Hi OP,

In my family room I have runs of 35 and 25 feet.

so expensive speaker wires are not practical.

I made 4 individual cables using 10 gauge all copper Audtek wire from

parts express.  No silver for me!  I soldered on spade connections both ends.

ok I did use silver solder.

Great value for longer runs or any runs.  Any speaker benefits from bi wiring and eliminating jumpers.
