Why is 10 gauge speaker wire so hard to find? Any Idea's? I live in Wisconsin. Is all the copper in Iraq?

Most just use 10- gauge power wire, but I have sen 10 gauge speaker wire here:

There's a roll of PG 12 SILVER on the bay.

I assume 10 gauge is a little bigger than most people require so it's less available than smaller gauges due to supply and demand.

Unless you are running thousands of watts to your speakers, you will be fine with much smaller gauge. I usually recommend 14 or 16 for interior speakers, and 12 for subs. Then again, I am using 10 all around, because I had it already

I use RF 11 gauge speaker wire. It's as big or bigger than all of the 10 gauge I have ever seen. It's discontinued now so I bought 250ft. of it because I like it so much.

I know JL offers an 8awg.

what do you need 10 for?

whats up,
fleabay has all the wire you need....you can even buy silver plated teflon coated 108 strands(i think)10ga wire thats military spec.its not in the car audio section so youll have to search..I bought 50ft for 25 bucks! not a bad deal! it isnt the most flexible wire,but is still workable.
there is also a guy on ebay selling 8ga streetwires for 3.99 a ft. thats a high price but its good wire and no one else seems to have it.its not tin plated though... or you could just email knukoncepts and see what they have left.I bought 100ft of 8ga yrs ago for super cheap and it was twisted and tin plated.

here you go dude.

Do you know how copper wire was invented?







2 jews were fighting over a penny.

goodnight everybody, he will be here all week. be sure to tip your waitress!

10 gauge for speaker is an odd size.

16 and 12 are most popular for aftermarket.

If you can hear a difference between 16 and 12 gauge on your system, congratulations you are god!

thank you...some one that actually uses logic when it comes to wire.


To original poster, I like your install and car alot, but dont waste your money on 10gauge wire. You will never need it, unless your running 10K watts or you have a car 2000 ft long.

Bought a 500 foot roll of 16 gauge from them, nice stuff. Made by American Bass, I assume that seller is an American Bass dealer as they sent me their product catalogs as well.
