14 AWG Speaker wire is most often used in digital audio, home theaters, and even stereo speakers. It is important to take note that 14 AWG speaker wire is not rated or intended for in-wall usage. How is it made? Speaker wire is constructed from two different conductors. While both of these conductors are finely stranded copper, only one of them is tinned. The other conductor is bare copper. This is done for several reasons. The most important is to easily distinguish polarity. Both conductors are covered with a translucent PVC jacket. This jacket is designed to be flexible to make installation as easy as possible.  How do you use 14 AWG speaker wire? Well, the first thing to do is choose the proper gauge. This can be figured out by determining how long the wire will need to be. To leave room for error, it's a good idea to always add a few extra feet. This keeps the run from becoming too tight or too slack. After you know how long the wire needs to be, you will need to consider the power requirements. Once you know the length of your run and the power requirements, you can choose the proper gauge wire. If you would like help selecting the proper speaker wire, contact a Pacer expert today.
