Unlike many other users, my complaint with this wire is not in regards to its thickness. In fact, I used 12 gauge wire strippers to strip the wire and it worked just fine (even cut a few strands of wire in the process). My complaint is that you may or may not get a full, uncut, 100 foot length of wire. I ordered two spools for speaker installation in my "man cave;" one spool was comprised of a 100 foot length of one wire while the other spool was disappointingly comprised of a 35 foot length of wire and a separate longer length. Need less to say this was extremely disappointing to me because I was already running that spool of wire along the ceiling when it just suddenly ended with the rest of the 2/3 of the spool not attached. I was lucky that I didn't need a full 100, or even 50, foot length to wire my speakers. So anyway, buyer beware. The fully intact spool was great; nice wire, one strand easily identified with a red stripe, and flexible.

Sold and purchased from Amazon.com. I bought this 100 ft spool of speaker wire from Amazon in Dec. 2009 and have just opened it up for use. The wire and jacket is good enough, problem is that the spool and jacket is labeled 12 awg but the wire is actually 14 awg. Clearly this is not an accident or error by the manufacturer or distributor. I've see that this is not an uncommon practice among less reputable online sources but I am very dissappointed that Amazon did not realize what they were selling and pull this from their invetory, or sell it as mislabeled 14 awg.

I do not know whether this wire is thinner than 12 gauge or not as mentioned in the other reviews. What I can say is that when I used the 12 gauge stranded wire slot of my wire stripper (which is bigger than the solid wire slot), it invariably severed a few of the strands. So it is close enough to 12 gauge. In any case, what matters to me is if it does the job or not. I have 40' runs to the surround speakers, and they work just fine.
