Oxygen-Free Copper Speaker Cable 16 Gauge (18 Metre Roll)
High-quality speaker wire, ideal for installing new speakers or upgrading existing vehicle wiring. The 18 metre roll provides ample length for most four-speaker setups (front and rear), making it a great match for standard radio head units and low-power amplifiers.
Suitability
This 16 AWG cable is suitable for car audio, marine, and home theatre installations. It is recommended for running dash speakers, door speakers, and rear deck speakers powered directly from a factory or aftermarket head unit, or an external amplifier delivering up to 100 Watts RMS per channel.
Key Benefits
- 100% Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) provides superior conductivity
- Minimised electrical resistance ensures clean audio transfer, punchy bass, and clear treble
- Durable blue PVC insulation helps protects against heat, oil, and chemical exposure in vehicle environments
- High strand count offers excellent flexibility when routing cable through tight firewall grommets and door tubes
- Clear polarity markings ensure correct phase alignment across all speakers
How to Use
Measure the required length from your head unit or amplifier to each speaker location, allowing a small amount of slack for routing, or if possible, run the amount directly from the roll through the vehicle. Cut the cable using wire cutters and strip back approximately 10 mm of PVC insulation from each conductor. Identify the positive indicator marked on the wire sheath and attach it to the positive (+) terminal on both the audio source and speaker. Connect the remaining conductor to the negative (-) terminals. Terminate the ends using solder, crimp connectors, or direct screw terminal clamping.
