As someone else already pointed out, this is not 100 feet. I ordered two of these, and one was about 80 feet, while the other was closer to 70. This made wiring a little more difficult since I was planning on those 100 feet, only to find out near the end, that I didn't have enough. They work great, but since I payed for 100 feet, and only got about 2/3 of it I am very disappointed.

This seems like nice speaker wire but I ordered two 100' spools and both came up short at only 89' each. Based on the consistent reports of shorter lengths than advertised, this is not an accident but rather a fraud perpetrated by the seller on us buyers and Amazon. Unconscionable. I ordered a 100' spool of another brand of speaker wire and guess how long it was: 100'!

I read the earlier reviews and was hoping that I would get lucky and get a full 100 ft of this wire. They really short you on the length. For what you receive I don't believe its worth the cost. I guess you get what you pay for. In this case NOT even close. I wish there was a way to contact the seller to let them know what a dis-service they are providing. The wire is great, The length is where they stick it to you. :o( Not happy.

I cannot believe this item was 10 feet short. I mean if it was a feet or two I could imagine it was a manufacturing mishap, but you can just visually notice if %10 of the roll is missing. This is just a scam! Shame on you Amazon if you do not punish a manufacturer that is cheating your customers so apparently and causes so much wasted time, trouble and money.

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.

I read many reviews about this product but i didn't think its that bad and ordered one. Now i'm very desprate about it. First, it's not 100' long, but only 92'. Second, the wire is half a copper and half aluminum. And other thing is that it's not really a 14 gauge as expected. I'm thinking about to buy other one from another brand.

I bought two spools of the Metra 14GA speaker wire and although its terrific wire both spools were not 100 feet. One roll was around 85 the other around 90. I needed 200 feet I got 175. I had to buy another 40 feet from Home Depot.
Metra should relabel their spools to say "approximately 100 feet".

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.

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.

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.
