 Not reliably represented product November 21, 2008
Although seemingly inexpensive and of quality, this is actually only a 50 foot section of speaker wire as they are counting your + and - cables as each of 50 foot length (adding up to a supposed total of 100 foot)...both + and - cables are indeed attached and thus you are only getting 50 feet of cable...br /br /secondly, the shielding around the cable is about 1/3 that of competitors like Monster Cable (which I had bought earlier and returned because this looked like such a good deal)...perhaps the MADE TO RAPTOR"S RIGID SPECIFICATIONS IN CHINA should have been the dead give away...after cutting the cables to length and going through the process of installing this cable, as well as now listening to the speakers compared to Monster Cable I have on a nearby other surround sound set of speakers, I get more static from these cables on any speaker I put on them...br /br /furthermore, the first picture in the product images is decidely NOT what they sent, for what I received was half that size...though the last image of the set is shot at an obscure angle, it MIGHT be the actual smaller size...br /br /The only deal here is that the company selling these, misrepresented the product and is dealing you bad eggs...Amazon should take this item off or change its description so other buyers don't have to take all this out, go to BEST BUY, and get proper replacement cables!

I bought this cable to do my surround for a house I was building. I did all my calculation on how much I was going to need, put some contingency of about 10% in terms or wire length, etc. br /br /well, pretty soon I realized they the 100ft they clame they sell you, its really only 87 ft. I bought 2 rolls and both were short by over 10 ft each. br /br /I call and they said I could return it and they will try to send me others back, I didnt have the luxury of time for doing all this since my builder was putting the drywall in the next few days. I can of course I just cannot delay the contruction of an entire house just because this wire. br /br /So at the end I had to use whatever they send me and go buy some more cable at a local store (more expensive of course). So bottom line is that I paid for 200 ft of cable and I only got 178 ft. br /br /so if you are buying this wire, buy a lot buy 50% more of what you are going to need. based on other reviews it looks like I am not they only one with this problem.br /

If you actually need 100' of cable do not use this. I needed to run about 90' and my my spool had about 82' on it which completely screwed me up. I did not listen to others here and now I have to pay for it.
 Nice product June 18, 2008

I received the order in a timely manner and it works great. I couldn't believe the difference in loss between the 16gauge I had and this 12gauge. There was so much more loss with my 16gauge it was ridiculous. The only problem with this that caused me not to rate it a 5 was the fact that the spool wasn't 100ft. long as advertised. I measured out my room and I needed 2 41ft. runs for my back speakers. This was after I added 15% for give and play. I measured the distance down from my receiver to the floor, around every nook and cranny along my wall and up the stand for the speaker itself. So I figured I'd cut the wire exactly in half and have 2 50ft. runs and I'd coil the excess in back of something like my couch. The run just made it which I thought was weird. So I measured its length and it was only 40ft. So I ended up only getting about 80ft out of the 100ft I should have. Otherwise the speaker wire works great.
100 feet is only 88.5feet cable is short by huge amount-china April 28, 2008

This is the worst case of stealing from the consumer in a long time. The cable is not all copper, just one side and the length is 11 1/2 feet short of 100ft! wow! This product is shown on other sites[google search] as almost always short by huge amounts of feet not 2 inches, but eleven plus feet short.br /br /I had to drive 70 miles to pick up a cable after this lemon came. I could not finish the install that day. waste of time for this raptor wire.br /br /very poor of the china manufacture...buy USA
