I have installed this within walls during construction and have not used it carrying a signal yet, so cannot give any opinion on that. The thing that bothers me though, is that the 100' rolls were actually a little less than 90' long, causing me to call Amazon about the problem. Amazon, to their credit, stood up to more than their responsibility and gave me a discount on another spool of the cable, making up for the shortage.

I ordered a 100 foot roll and only received 91 feet. I needed to make three pieces: 39', 34' and 27' for my home theater. Now I have to buy a whole new 50' roll to complete the job. I noticed someone else had commented on only getting 45' from a 50' roll. I thought it just may be a fluke with the 50' rolls... Guess not! Seems like China likes cutting corners. If you need all 100 feet, or don't like getting gipped, then this isn't the wire for you.

Both 100' spools of this wire came in TWO pieces.I discovered that I'd have to splice it halfway through a difficult install. URHHHH!!!! Avoid these problems by buying other vendor's products.

This is the worst case of stealing from the consumer in a long time. The cable is not all copper, just one side and the length is 11 1/2 feet short of 100ft! wow! This product is shown on other sites[google search] as almost always short by huge amounts of feet not 2 inches, but eleven plus feet short.

I had to drive 70 miles to pick up a cable after this lemon came. I could not finish the install that day. waste of time for this raptor wire.

very poor of the china manufacture...buy USA

I thought maybe with all of the complaints about short rolls the supplier would have fixed the problem, but they haven't. The roll I bought was only 89 ft long. It wouldn't have bothered me if that would have been enough, but I really needed all 100 ft. I was only able to hook up 4 out of five speakers, and now I need to find another 10 ft of wire somewhere and wait a few more days to enjoy my surround sound system.

If you actually need 100' of cable do not use this. I needed to run about 90' and my my spool had about 82' on it which completely screwed me up. I did not listen to others here and now I have to pay for it.

so I hire an electrican, get ready to install wiring for a home theatre system ,and find out that my 3 runs are all 3 feet short. I pull them, and they are all 30 feet not 33. Boy am I annoyed. Went back and found another reviewer with the same experience. Guess I should have been less trusting

I bought several 100' spools of the Metra "Raptor" 12-gauge wire for wiring a 7.1 Surround system, used for in-wall wiring in my new house prior to the drywall being installed. The cost of copper has caused the cost of speaker wire to skyrocket over the past couple of years, but 12-gauge is the way to go if you intend on having long runs of speaker wire through your house or office.

The price of the Metra 12-gauge wire was as good as I could find anywhere, even after searching eBay for several hours. I pulled this wire through holes that I drilled in floor joists and wall studs without problems, the wire sheathing never tore or cracked, so it's definitely durable. If you're looking for reasonably-priced wire that will more than do the job, the Metra "Raptor" 12-gauge wire is great stuff.

The speaker wire is great. I ordered a 100 foot spool and a 50 foot spool to wire my new 6.1 polk speaker set. After receiving the wire I measured the 50 foot spool and discovered it was barely 45 feet long! I'm a little disappointed that I only recieved 90% of the product I paid for. I haven't had a chance to measure the 100 foot spool but I'm afraid it may only have 90 feet. The quality of the wire is great, I only wish they would ship the amount I paid for. I hope I don't need to order more wire.

Got 3 of these, so about 300 feet in total. Each roll had a 100 feet as describe. Not sure why other review said in came in two pieces, but my only have one 100 feet cable per roll. Very happy. One side is copper and the other is silver.
