For example, a 16AWG 2-conductor Pure Bare Copper speaker wire has a total resistance of 0.803 ohms per 100 feet (both directions must be considered). By comparison, a 16AWG 2-conductor CCA speaker wire has a total resistance of 1.181 ohms per 100 feet. Assuming 4 ohms is the lowest impedance of your speakers, a speaker wire run can be no more 0.2-ohms total. 20 feet of 16AWG Pure Bare Copper would be 0.1606 ohms, well under the 0.2-ohm limit. On the other hand, 20 feet of 16AWG CCA would be 0.2362 ohms, well OVER the 0.2-ohm limit. Get the most out of your home audio system with high quality oxygen-free copper speaker wire from Monoprice!. This wire features two conductors made of high purity (greater than 99. 95% pure) oxygen-free copper. Each conductor is jacketed with color-coded PVC for easy polarity identification. The entire cable assembly is jacketed in a white CL2-rated PVC material. The CL2 rating indicates that the cable complies with fire safety and insurance requirements making it safe for use inside the walls of residential class buildings.
