How to Choose the Right Speaker Cable
Selecting the correct speaker cable depends on your amplifier output, speaker requirements, cable length and installation environment.
Speaker cable thickness is commonly measured using American Wire Gauge (AWG). A lower AWG number indicates a thicker conductor, which generally helps reduce electrical resistance and voltage loss over longer cable runs.
Also consider conductor material, cable insulation, flexibility and the required cable length. OFC speaker cable is an option for users looking for oxygen-free copper conductors for their audio installations.
Browse our speaker cable range at Aus Electronics Direct to find speaker wire by the metre or in convenient bulk rolls.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is speaker cable used for?
Speaker cable is used to connect speakers to amplifiers, receivers and other compatible audio equipment. It carries the amplified audio signal from the amplifier to the speaker.
2. What is OFC speaker cable?
OFC stands for Oxygen-Free Copper. OFC speaker cable uses copper conductors manufactured with a low oxygen content. It is commonly selected for home audio, car audio and other speaker wiring applications.
3. What size speaker cable do I need?
The appropriate speaker cable size depends on speaker impedance, amplifier output, cable length and installation requirements. Thicker cables with lower AWG numbers generally have lower resistance and are beneficial for longer cable runs.
4. What is the difference between 16AWG and 18AWG speaker wire?
16AWG speaker wire has a thicker conductor than 18AWG wire. The thicker 16AWG cable generally offers lower electrical resistance, making it a suitable consideration for longer cable runs or applications requiring lower voltage loss.
5. Can I use the same speaker cable for car audio and home audio?
Many speaker cables can be used in both applications, provided their conductor size, insulation and electrical specifications are suitable. Always consider the installation environment and the requirements of your audio equipment.
6. Is thicker speaker cable better?
Thicker speaker cable generally has lower electrical resistance, which can help minimise signal voltage loss over longer distances. However, the ideal cable size depends on the speaker impedance, cable length and amplifier requirements.
7. Should I buy speaker cable by the metre or in a roll?
Buying speaker cable by the metre is convenient for smaller installations and repairs. Larger rolls, such as 25m, 50m or 100m options, are useful for home theatre installations, multiple speakers and larger audio projects.
