Arista

Our take on the Arista 16-Gauge Speaker Cable

by Kristen Schaub

Most speakers don't include speaker wire. Arista's 50- or 100-foot roll of 16-gauge wire offers an affordable solution. Warranty: 90 days.

Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features

Construction: This speaker wire has a clear PVC jacket with one conductor made of tinned silver to help you keep track of the positive and negative leads.

Connectors: No connectors are supplied with the speaker wire. Connectors (pin connector, banana plug, spade lug) are recommended to provide a secure connection to your receiver and speakers, plus prevent signal loss through oxidation and corrosion.

Arista 16-Gauge Speaker Wire

Written By Bob, Mineola, NY on Monday, March 04, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Cost effective way to run longer lengths of speaker wire
Pros:
Low cost per foot.
Cons:
Insulation does not split neatly when separating leads. If you pull the wires apart instead of cutting them, you'll likely end up with breaks in the insulation and potential shorts. A better quality insulation splits neatly with little effort.

Skip it

Written By Jake W., New York, NY on Tuesday, October 11, 2011
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
I bought this "16 AWG" wire as an intended upgrade to some 18 AWG speaker wire that I bought at a big box home/hardware store. The conductors inside the arista wire are the same diameter, if not a hair thinner than the 18 AWG wire! The only difference is that the Arista has thicker insulation--which would be a good thing if it weren't almost impossible to pull the wires apart cleanly (even after a good "start"). Also this isn't pure copper.

I ended up buying 14 AWG pure copper wire.

So skip this--either go with the cheap stuff or pay more for the better stuff.

This works fine for our medium powered system. Can't see the need for Monster cable.

Great Speaker Wire

Written By Amar, New Jersey on Wednesday, January 10, 2007
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Bought this with my Onkyo HT-790 HTIB, which comes with pretty cheap speaker wire to say the least. This does the job, just make sure you have a crimping tool
