Doubt it's length.......2007-12-15
Cut it up to connect speakers. Could not measure the lenght beforehand but doubt it was anywhere near the 100 feet as indicated on the label. Closer to @ 60 or 70 feet.
Not 100% copper.......2007-11-17
I received this shipment after a whole week of delay. The only thing that matters in a speaker wire is the resistance. I do not like the fact that one of the wires is not made of copper, but nickel or some other metal. I have not yet to connected the speakers up and hope it will be good. I wish Amazon was more forthright and detailed in the product description.
I would not buy wires from Amazon again. I ordered several banana connectors from monoprice and they are gold plated and very affordable as well. Highly recommend monoprice!
As represented.......2007-10-22
Performed as expected. Noticeable improvement in sound quality from my new Onkyo Home Theater system. Speaker wires supplied by Onkyo appeared to be 18 gauge, perhaps even 20 gauge, too small for this application.
This 14 gauge wire has twice the diameter and three times the current carrying capacity when compared to 20 gauge, quite an improvement.
Highly recommended.
Fantastic Speaker Wire.......2007-09-20
Well insulated, quality wire. The silver & coper colored wire make replaceing your old speaker wire a breeze. Ran all 100ft of this last evening and was very glad I had. The improvement to my sound was noticeable.
Excellent item.......2007-09-10
I ordered 200 feet of this wire for in ceiling speakers. The sound from the speakers is excellent. You have to have good wire for youe speakers to soung good. I searched all over and this is the best price I found.

Great wire at a great price.......2007-10-10
A nice heavy gauge wire that's more than sufficient for most home users. I didn't have any problem distinguishing the (+) from (-). There's not much to say about speaker wire except it works as expected and was much cheaper here than at a local electronics store.
Good bang for the buck.......2007-10-07
Very finely stranded true 14 gauge speaker wire. I COULD tell the difference btwn this and a 50 foot $10 roll of standard 16 gauge I got yesterday from RadioShack. The RS wire had all of 19 strands whereas this METRA wire has nearly 200 strands. Neither is advertised as Oxygen Free nor are they priced as such. I did a side to side comparison between the two and I was impressed. The sound quality improvement with the METRA wire was significant. METRA's sound was fuller, louder with the same volume setting and more distinct. I'm removing and tossing the RShack wiring as soon as I get another roll of this in.
No longer a 100% reliable product........2007-07-27
This came as described at a decent price. 14 gauge is a great all-purpose wire. One side is silver and the other side is copper. Nothing on the package says Metra though. It says Raptor. All the Metra wires say Raptor "made in China". Metra's best deal is the 100' 10 gauge for $38 delivered.
UPDATE: I got another one of these and it was short 6 ft. When doing in-wall wiring, that's not good. I had to make an extra trip to Walmart because of Metra. The other complaints about wire length against metra may be true. The only reason I found out was because I knew how long of a wire I needed. When it was short, I then measured the wire against a tape measure. 6 ft short is a large percentage on 50 ft. I will no longer order from Metra.
Priced right for the quality.......2007-05-08
Wire is NOT color coded so it is difficult to discern which wire is which on long runs.

Size?.......2007-10-18
The packaging doesn't say the gauge size. All it says is "heavy duty speaker wire" and it is made by GE. For all I know it it could be 16 gauge.
Very good sound quality.......2007-07-02
I was a bit reluctant to give this a 5 star rating since I did not have anything to compare its performance with, but...
I believe I received the speaker wire of the proper gauge. My conclusion is based upon using a wire stripper/insulation remover for the appropriate gauge.
I do not notice any distortion from my Onkyo receiver.
I chose this wire after doing a bit of research online. Using search engines I found results of extensive testing of speaker wire. Lower priced wires were compared with well established names such as Monster Cable and had the same performance. Strong arguments were made to purchase other cheaper priced wire, possibly such as this one. A conclusion from the testing I read was that consumers notice an improvement in their sound when wires like Monster Cable are purchased because those consumers were using a higher gauge (thinner wire) than what is recommended. So be wary when guys at the brick and mortar store try to convince you to unnecessarily drain your pocket. I chose this 14-gauge wire over the recommended 16-gauge just to make sure. Wire of supposedly better brands are usually made with comparable standards as this. The only difference is the price of course. If you are not convinced do the research yourself.
I used 75 feet for my 5.1 setup and bought an extra one just in case I may need to change the positioning later on.
Not even close to 14 AWG.......2007-06-27
The product they sent me was 18 gauge speaker wire. It was one number off in the product model #. I sent it back. I cannot give a good review for this.

Great Footage for price.......2006-06-25
14 gauge wire 250 feet, for this price ? Amazing value. Wish I would have bought 2. I bought mine directly through Amazon, went back to buy more, and Amazon doesn't sell it directly anymore, would have to go through 3rd party seller, which would mean I can't get free shipping. Don't know why that happened. Good value, would recommend.
