The RW100 raw wire speaker cable delivers 100 feet of professional-grade connectivity for permanent installations, mobile rigs, and custom cable builds. This shielded 16-gauge cable handles the power demands of PA systems, home theater setups, and live sound applications where reliable signal transfer is critical.

Built with PVC-wrapped construction and proper shielding, the RW100 maintains signal integrity across long runs while resisting interference. The 16-gauge wire thickness provides sufficient current capacity for most speakers and amplifiers without introducing voltage drop that can affect performance.

Raw wire terminations on both ends give you maximum flexibility for custom installations. Connect directly to amplifiers, speakers, or mixing boards with binding posts and terminal strips. The bare wire ends also allow you to solder on the exact connectors your setup requires — whether that's 1/4" plugs, Speakon connectors, or banana plugs.

Use the RW100 for permanent church sound installations, home theater speaker runs, or building custom PA cables for your band or DJ setup. The 100-foot length handles large venues and provides routing flexibility around stages, walls, and equipment racks. Perfect for connecting power amplifiers to passive speakers in fixed installations or creating custom cables for your mobile rig.

The cable connects to any equipment with raw wire terminals — the red and black binding posts found on most amplifiers and passive speakers. All Seismic Audio cables include a one-year warranty and ship fast from our warehouse.

Frequently Asked Questions

What gauge wire do I need for my PA system?

16-gauge wire like the RW100 handles most PA speakers and amplifiers without voltage drop issues. For runs over 100 feet or high-power applications above 500 watts, consider stepping up to 14-gauge or 12-gauge wire to maintain optimal power transfer.

Can I add connectors to the raw wire ends?

Yes, the bare wire ends are designed for soldering on whatever connectors your setup requires. You can add 1/4" plugs, Speakon connectors, banana plugs, or spade terminals. If you prefer pre-made cables, Seismic Audio offers 1/4" to raw wire and Speakon to raw wire options.

Is 100 feet long enough for a church sound system?

A 100-foot cable handles most church installations, allowing amplifier racks in the back to reach front-of-house speakers or stage monitors. For larger sanctuaries or complex routing, you may need multiple runs or longer lengths, but 100 feet covers the majority of worship spaces.

What's the difference between shielded and unshielded speaker cable?

The RW100's shielding protects against electromagnetic interference from lighting systems, wireless equipment, and other electronics. While not always critical for short runs, shielded cable prevents buzzing and hum in longer installations, especially in venues with complex electrical systems.

Do I need special tools to work with raw wire cable?

Basic wire strippers are sufficient for preparing the bare ends for connection to binding posts. If you're soldering on connectors, you'll need a soldering iron and appropriate connectors. Many amplifiers and speakers accept bare wire directly into their terminal strips without additional tools.
