Speaker Cable

Used to connect:
Speakers for your HIFI, surround sound, car stereo or paging systems.

Available lengths:
Speaker cable is sold “off the roll” to suit you length. Please note: the longer the length the lower quality of sound.

Typical cost:
Speaker cable leads(1 meter) start at around £2.00 ($3) then expect to pay a further £1.00-£50.00 ($2-$75) per meter thereafter, depends on the quality required to match your hardware budget.

Cable advice:
With speaker cable as a rule of thumb it is recommended that you spend around 10% of your HIFI equipment or surround sound costs on the actual speaker cable itself. The thickness of speaker is called the “gauge.” The lower the gauge, the thicker the wire. 10 gauge is quite thick, while 20 gauge is comparatively thin. Most people will be very happy with 14 gauge speaker cable which should provide decent all-round speaker performance.
