Our take on the AudioQuest FLX-16/2 16-Gauge 2-Conductor In-Wall Speaker Cable

by Amanda P.

Quality in-wall speaker cable on a budget

Cross section

Enjoy crisp, detailed sound with this two-conductor in-wall speaker cable from AudioQuest. It features 19 precisely arranged, tightly packed strands in each conductor for excellent signal transfer and low distortion. Plus, twisted pair construction minimizes radio frequency and electromagnetic interference to keep your music noise-free.


Handy extras for easy installation

Helpful markings on cable jacket

AudioQuest includes sequential footage markers on the cable jacket to simplify measuring. Directional arrows tell you which way the signal should flow through the cable for the best sound.


Durable in-wall- and direct burial-rated speaker wire

When you're running wire inside your walls or underground, it's important that you use speaker cable that's approved for that purpose. This cable's CL3 certification means it passed safety tests administered by the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) for in-wall usage. AudioQuest's FLX cables are also rated for direct burial. You can run FLX cables to your outdoor speakers and bury them in the ground without a protective conduit.

Highlights:

  • 16-gauge, 2-conductor cable (16/2)
  • UL-rated for in-wall installation
  • rated for direct burial
  • high-purity copper for high-integrity signal transfer
  • Concentric Pack stranding ensures high conductivity and low distortion
  • twisted pair construction combats interference
  • sequential footage markers printed on jacket for accurate cable measurements during installation
  • directional arrows tell you which way the signal should flow for the best sound
  • warranty: 5 years
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

    Features

    Overview: The FLX-DB16/2 in-wall speaker cable has two 16 gauge conductors to supply wiring for one speaker. Using Semi-Solid packing, the individual copper strands within the bundle don't change position, resulting in reduced distortion. The long grain structure in the low distortion, oxygen free, high-conductivity copper AudioQuest uses results in a natural sound, uncolored by the cable. The Star-Quad geometry lowers cable inductance, reducing susceptibility to external noise sources.

    Great Speaker Wire

    Written By Novice, Hot Springs, AR on Thursday, May 02, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Wire has a very durable cover and the length is stamped on the cover in one foot increments, counting down from the total length; this was very helpful in keeping up with my remaining wire to plan the next run of wire.
    Pros:
    Heavy Duty
    Cons:
    None

    Great Speaker Wire

    Written By CRW, Hot Springs, AR on Sunday, April 21, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    As always Crutchfield delivers, wiring for in celling speakers on a new home we are building, the cover is very durable and was easy to run in the ceiling and through walls. I have no concerns that it will last for the life of my home.
    Pros:
    Wire was marked with the footage starting with the full length and counted down as I used it, this was very helpful in planning my runs of wire.

    Easy to Install

    Written By Colonel Army of TN, Nashville, TN on Thursday, June 14, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Recently installed in my daughter's house before the drywall was installed. No problems, easy to work with. Easy to pull if you can cut your holes before any drywall installation. 16Ga is smaller than I thought and one of the runs is about 25 feet. For the price diff. I should have gotten the 14 AWG. Have not attached to speakers (Def Tech in wall 6.5" CLR).

    Quality

    Written By decaydoc, Owensboro, KY on Friday, September 02, 2011
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    This is a heavy good quality wire that is simple to use. What impressed me most was the feet left numbers on the back of the wire. This made it easy to figure what runs to make first.

    Expensive

    Written By GK, Hampton, NJ on Tuesday, February 08, 2011
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I guess it works well, but similar cable could be had for half the price. Should have done
    more research before jumping into buying it. I doubt it is worth the extra money.

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I was an audio install contractor for years and have used numerous types of speaker wire. This was the easiest to install in new construction and is very strong. I recommend it.
