Wet Sounds 3 Conductor 18 AWG Primary Wire 150 ft Spool Amplifier Power Cable

Marine-Grade Amplifier Wiring

This 150-foot spool provides three-conductor primary wire built to CEA-2015 and BC-5W2 marine standards. It uses 100 percent oxygen-free tinned copper for corrosion resistance and reliable signal transfer in wet environments. The cable suits installers wiring Wet Sounds amplifiers and speakers for extended warranty coverage.

18 AWG Current-Carrying Limits

At 18 AWG the conductors handle only modest amplifier current draws typical of compact marine systems. Voltage drop increases with run length, so the 150-foot reel is best kept to shorter individual feeds rather than a single long power lead. The twisted-pair, quad-shielded design protects signal integrity but does not raise the gauge’s ampacity rating.

Straightforward Spool Installation

The wire pays out cleanly from the spool for measuring and cutting to exact lengths. Stripping the tinned copper requires sharp cutters to avoid fraying the fine strands. Common issues include nicking conductors during strip-back and leaving connections exposed to salt spray without the specified fusion nickel-plated blocks.
