Not sure if these are truely 14 guage.
Color: 14 AWG, Size: 20 Feet
I think that the wire is good quality, but I wound up using some wire that I already had after stripping some of this back and then comparing it with my old 14 gauge wire. I did not get out a caliper and measure it, but by feel and visual comparison it did not seem to be as heavy as my old wire.

Easy,affordable,quality, double protected
Color: 14 AWG, Size: 20 Feet
I used this to hook up two old school P2D2 12” subs and I am beyond happy with the wire. I tried a lot of wire over the years but this is the one you want!
