RCA 18 AWG Speaker Wire 60 ft Black Red CCA PVC

RCA 18 AWG CCA speaker wire 60 ft

This two-colour set supplies 30 ft of red and 30 ft of black 18 AWG copper-clad aluminium wire for low-voltage audio and power runs. The PVC jacket resists moisture, UV and abrasion across a -20 °C to 70 °C range. It suits car audio, household speakers, lamps, models and 12 V/24 V DC circuits. Buyers needing pure copper conductors or runs longer than 60 ft should look elsewhere.

Installation ease and common issues

Each conductor contains 26 strands of 0.2 mm CCA, giving a 2.8 mm overall diameter that bends easily and separates by hand. The flexible PVC sheath strips cleanly without special tools. Over-tightening terminals can crush the softer aluminium core, so use crimp connectors rated for CCA rather than heavy screw-down blocks.

Capacity and headroom

The 18 AWG gauge handles typical speaker-level signals and 12 V/24 V DC loads within the supplied 60 ft total length. Voltage drop becomes noticeable on higher-current runs beyond this length, and the CCA construction carries less current than equivalent pure copper. For multi-room installs or amplifier feeds above modest power, a heavier gauge is required.
