RW50 - Two Raw Wire Speaker Cable 50'
The RW50 raw wire speaker cable pair gives installers and DIY builders the flexibility to create custom connections for permanent installations and home audio setups. These 50-foot cables work with speakers, receivers, and amplifiers that use spring-loaded terminal connections.
Built with 16-gauge wire and PVC jacketing, these cables handle the power demands of most home and small venue applications while maintaining signal integrity. The shielded design reduces interference from nearby electrical sources that can degrade audio quality.
Each cable features bare wire ends that strip easily for secure terminal connections. The 16-gauge wire size balances current-carrying capacity with flexibility, making it suitable for runs up to 50 feet without significant voltage drop. The black PVC jacket provides durability for permanent installations behind walls or under stages.
Perfect for custom home theater setups, distributed audio systems, and permanent installations where standard connectors don't fit the equipment. The raw wire format lets you add Speakon or 1/4" connectors if needed, or connect directly to binding posts and terminal strips on amplifiers and passive speakers.
Installation requires basic wire stripping tools and access to the terminal connections on your equipment. Each pair includes two identical 50-foot cables for stereo or dual-mono setups.
Seismic Audio backs these cables with a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Ships ready for immediate installation or custom connector work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What equipment works with raw wire speaker cables?
These cables connect to any amplifier, receiver, or speaker with binding posts, spring terminals, or screw-down connections. Most home stereo equipment, powered mixers, and passive PA speakers accept bare wire connections through terminal strips or binding posts.
Can I add connectors to these raw wire cables?
Yes, you can solder Speakon, 1/4", or banana plug connectors to either end as needed. The 16-gauge wire accepts most standard audio connectors, giving you flexibility to match your specific equipment requirements.
How much power can 16-gauge wire handle at 50 feet?
Sixteen-gauge wire safely carries up to 400 watts at 8 ohms over 50 feet with minimal voltage drop. For most home stereo and small PA applications, this gauge provides adequate current capacity without the bulk of heavier wire.
Do I need both cables in the pair for mono applications?
No, you can use just one cable for mono setups and save the second for future expansion or as a spare. Each cable is identical, so you can also use them for separate left and right channels in stereo systems.
How does this compare to pre-made cables with connectors?
Raw wire cables offer maximum flexibility for custom installations where connector types don't match between components. Pre-made cables with Speakon or 1/4" connectors are more convenient for standard PA setups, but raw wire works better for permanent installations and home audio terminal connections.
