Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can 14 AWG run 12 m without loss?
Yes — up to ~40 ft (12 m) to 8 Ω speakers, keeping resistance under the 5% rule :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.
-
Why choose 14 AWG over thinner cables?
For longer runs or higher power levels, 14 AWG reduces resistance significantly compared to 16 or 18 AWG :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.
-
Does clear insulation reduce sound quality?
Not at all — aesthetics aside, performance is governed by resistance and gauge, not jacket color :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}.
-
Is CCA acceptable in speaker cable?
Yes — 14 AWG CCA performs adequately for moderate length runs and delivers great value :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.
-
Best use case scenario?
Great for vehicle audio, small home theatre setups, or marine systems where cable needs to stay flexible and discreet.
