Product identity

The Wires Zone PRW18500-RED is an 18 AWG copper-clad aluminium stranded wire supplied on a 500-foot spool. It is intended for low-voltage speaker and remote-turn-on connections in car audio, home theatre or general automotive installations.

Installation checks

Verify that 18 AWG is adequate for the current draw and run length of your specific amplifier or speaker circuit. Confirm that your terminals, crimp tools and connectors accept stranded CCA conductors of this gauge before cutting the cable.

Thermals noise and power

The cable itself generates no heat, noise or electrical draw during normal operation. Voltage drop over long runs depends on the load current and total circuit length, so plan conductor sizing accordingly.

Questions about this item

Does the spool include connectors or do I need to buy terminals separately?

The spool supplies only the 500 ft length of 18 AWG CCA stranded wire in red; terminals, connectors or any other accessories must be purchased separately.

Is the 500 ft length a single continuous run or multiple shorter pieces?

It is supplied as one continuous 500 ft spool of 18 AWG CCA stranded wire.

How much voltage drop should I expect on a 50 ft run of this 18 AWG CCA wire at typical amplifier current?

Copper-clad aluminium has higher resistance than solid copper, so voltage drop on a 50 ft run will be greater than with the same gauge copper wire; calculate drop using the CCA resistance for 18 AWG and your amplifier's current draw.
