Five Star Reviews: | 27% ... product was exactly what I ordered and it works great. Thank you March 7, 2016 The product was exactly what I ordered and it works great.Thank you. Great sound, nice having the remote control February 28, 2016 Bought this to attach to the TV in my living room. It's smaller than the one I used to have, and the sound quality is better. This is also one of the few speaker systems with a remote control. But you might want to buy some RCA extension cables. Four of the five cables (permanently attached to the speakers) weren't long enough. Very loud October 30, 2015 I needed a decent sound system for my man cave. I really like this speaker system. It actually gets very loud and I rarely have it about 40 (It goes to 50). There are separate buttons to add more to the base, surrounds, and front speakers. The only thing I don't like about the system is that the setting reset everytime you turn the system off. I have to turn the base up again each time. Now I just keep the system on at all times. 1 it's great I love it when you see and hear a ... August 24, 2015 This acoustic audio aa5102 800w 5.1 it's great I love it when you see and hear a movie it feels like you are in the movie theater lol from David Vives | 81% Good Stuff for All But The Most Skewed Audiophile... October 14, 2017 Great speaker wire. There are those who must have cables suitably sized, say, able to supply enough current to start a Caterpillar 580-B, but for my needs, 16-gauge works just fine, thank you. Don't need that silly, gold-plated frivolousness, as I don't have 'golden-ears'. I never painted my CD's with a green Marks-a-Lot (yes, people actually did that), put bricks on my SAE amplifier (you know, to dampen physical resonance...REALLY?) or find the need to spend stratospheric levels of cash for some cartridge hand-wound by some Tibetan monk. But hey, that sort of money buys a lot of prayer-wheels...I've even used old 'zip-cord' as a stand in for the 'properly-labelled' stuff, but I like not to have to solder stray runs of speaker wire together to make a longer run. Besides, for the money, this value cannot be beat (beaten, for all you 'grammar-nazi's out there). I'm happy: they supply oodles of current from my modestly powered Onkyo receiver (old-school, stereo, even, complete with phono inputs) and my 30+year old speakers. I'll hazard a guess you'll be happy with this item. Fear not, and put your starting-cables away... Great basic speaker wire! August 14, 2017 Very good basic speaker wire. Why pay the high price for other wire when this will do everything you need it to do? The shielding is suitable and protects well against interference. The wire is labeled well which provides an easy method for identifying the positive and negative wires. Overall, I think this is a great buy any moderate-level sound system. Those who wish to have completely flawless sound applications may wish to purchase some heavier gauge wire with thicker insulation, but this works well for me! Very nice, very well constructed speaker wire May 12, 2017 While I'm sure there are audiophiles who'll quibble, I think this stuff is awesome. It's got enough (but not too much) insulation to make me feel comfortable pulling it through walls. I got this to run through the wall and outside to connect some speakers to the Sony 100w amp we use with our AppleTV so we can play music out on the porch. The wire's nice and thick, easy to work with, and the spool's not ridiculously large. Other than that, the price is right. Great speaker wire for the price. November 29, 2016 It's amazing what people are saying! This is your normal run of the mill speaker wire! It works great. You wouldn't use it for a super crazy high output amp, you would buy a thicker gauge. For your home stereo and about 99% of the other use cases, this wire is just fine.There is a previous review that shows the mathematics behind it. Quality product! August 18, 2016 Easy to use. There is a white stripe on one side that is clearly visible to verify polarity. The insulation is thick enough to stand up to people walking on it if it's under a carpet but easy to strip. Unlike some other wire I've used, I didn't have to squeeze the heck out of the pliers and end up cutting right through the wire when trying to strip off insulation.My speakers and amplifiers all have quick-connect fittings, and it is very easy to get the wire into the little hole in the clamp. This wire is about 4 times as thick as the wire my components came with, and it really sounds fantastic!! I would definitely recommend this gauge wire for audio. Works Very Well for Home Use August 8, 2016 I'm a home audio enthusiast, not a recording studio engineer. I re-wired outdoor speakers (wire running through conduit) and used this product with very good results. My longest run is about 25'. Yes, it is copper clad aluminum, but I hesitate to spend top dollar for the more pure copper product. I know that the sound travels on the outside surface of the conductors, and this is why speaker wire is stranded and not solid core. The Amazon Basics 16-ga speaker wire is copper cladding on aluminum, which suits my purpose very well. It has a white tracer in one conductor, speeding up connections and improving accuracy. The insulation is easily removed with wire strippers. It pulls through flexible conduit using a fishing tape without undue headache. | 25% There are no reviews yet | 53% There are no reviews yet |

Four Star Reviews: | 11% for the kids April 24, 2017 its not bad, it is NOT what i was expecting at ALL. however it dose get the job done. Really a good system for the price March 11, 2015 Really a good system for the price, only thing is the Bluetooth hookup that came with it doesn't work. But as far as sound goes it sounds very good thank u for a good product Nice for small room September 11, 2014 Great surround sound system. I have it surrounding my bed in my room. hits surprisingly low for a 5 inch or 6 inch sub. Only two of the little speakers have long cords. The other three have shorter but decent length cords. That's my only complaint. I've had it for about 9 months and use it frequently and play it loud and I have not had any problems. The remote has crappy connection to the speaker though and it gets kind of annoying when trying to adjust bass and each speaker volume. Great buy otherwise | 13% Needs polarity indication, but works OK June 19, 2017 This cable works fine but I have one criticism - and so only four stars.There is no marking on the cable to show which wire is which and that makes it harder to determine speaker polarity. That is, you want the wire connected to red on the amplifier to connect to red on the speaker, and black [or white] to black [or white]. Electric wire like this has ribbing along one side (the neutral one) so you can make sure your lamp is wired up safely. But with this speaker wire you have to follow it all-the-way-along-the-length-of-the-cable.I guess that's why it's "AmazonBasics". Add some ribbing and this would be much easier to work with. But once installed it works fine. Excellent choice if you don't need 100% copper June 1, 2017 This is not real copper, but it does not claim to be. With that out of the way, this is actually pretty decent cable. It's very flexible and easy to work with. If you are fine with the limitations of copper-clad aluminum (because you're not running that long of a stretch, or you are over-sizing conductors to start with, or you just don't want to pay for 100% copper) then this is actually pretty nice to work with. The insulation is soft and flexible and the cord has a very easy to see black line for the negative conductor. If this were pure OFC copper, it would probably be one of my favorite brands. Simple basic speaker wire, no hassle packaging July 2, 2016 I purchased this cable to help wire up my surround sound system in my basement.The cable works great and was cheaper than alternatives on Amazon, or cables coming from my previous regular seller Monoprice. I would certainly purchase the cable again as it works great and was easy to run. I am not audiophile but I didnt appear to lose any sound quality with this affordable cable versus more expensive options out there.Finally the packaging is simple and easy to open. Its the simple things sometimes that take a product from good to great. Being able to get to the product without needing a blow torch is in my mind a big plus! Good speaker wire at a very good price May 30, 2016 Good speaker wire at a very good price. Sound quality and packaging is good. The price is super reasonable and I'd buy it again if I find myself needing speaker wire again.The reason I give it 4 Stars is because the markings to identify which wire is which is unusually VERY light. I was daisy chaining speakers together and needed to ensure that the correct wires were going to positive and negative. Both strands of wires are exactly the same but there is a faint white line down one of them. The white line is almost transparent and I need a flashlight to see it. Even with the light it was almost indiscernible. They should definitely look into marking one of the wires more prominently. It works. December 21, 2015 It's speaker wire. How can one write a glowing review on speaker wire? I will give it a try.This came will packaged and looked nice. The package designers did a superb job in designing the package. The wire is very smooth with a clearly marked negative wire. The insulation is nice and think and insulates very well. When solder is applied it takes it well and it appears the copper wire used in this is very high quality copper.The sound transmission is excellent unlike other copper wire that has noticeably reduced clarity in the high range.This wire is also much better than those spools of wire that are only 50 feet because this has 100 feet. That makes it twice as good as the 50 foot wire and 4 times better than the 25 foot spools. If you need more than this, you are not even reading this. November 16, 2015 This is exactly what it is supposed to be-- low cost, consumer grade speaker wire.We use this to connect our 15-year-old consumer-grade amplifier to our old consumer-grade speakers, to play music and movie sound-tracks streamed over the internet at whatever bit-rate our connection happens to support at the moment. The speakers are placed on whatever flat surface we can find, in whatever arrangement gives us some semblance of stereo and "surround", in a living room where "acoustics" take a back seat to "not having things fall on our heads."The impedance-matching to the speakers, the cable's power loss, the frequency response, are all 2nd-order optimizations where we are just looking for the first approximation. We just want durable cable that will not break easily if pulled or set-upon, that will not short the amplifier with ordinary use, and whose performance is no worse than the other aspects of our setup. We understand the difference between copper and copper-clad aluminum, and the impact of wire gague on signal fidelity. We have our own multi-meters, oscilliscopes and RMS power meters, and we just don't care.If you're an audiophile, odds are you are not even sniffing the Amazon Basics, much less reading this review. You are not researching whether this cable will let you hear the timpanist's heartbeat during the 2nd movement of Beethoven's 9th, even though audiophiles claim it can be done. You are too busy putting anti-reflective coating the edges of your CDs and putting your amplifiers on tiny little conical feet. You buy artisan crafted, hand-pulled pure copper cable extracted from sustainable mines by free-range miners, encased in fair-trade gold-foil RF shielding and wrapped with organic cotton-fiber sheath dyed in native traditional patterns.This cable is not excellent, but it is all the cable we need. | 15% There are no reviews yet | 21% There are no reviews yet |

Three Star Reviews: | 14% bought this item sometime back and thought it looked cool. it actually worked well for awhile May 29, 2016 bought this item sometime back and thought it looked cool. it actually worked well for awhile; then i started having problems with it. turns out it doesn't work with my blu ray player (no audio) and the remote JUST wont work. i've changed the batteries many times. and still nothing. not sure whats causing these problems. has a pretty good sound when it works but i wont recommend this product. College kid? Yes! Adult with an income? No! January 26, 2016 Decent speakers for the price, the subwoofer is definitly sub-par however. That being said you can interchange the speakers with other systems or Daisy chain for average sound all around you with another system. That being said it's really only good for small rooms and areas. I've just found my new camping speaker system, not junk, but nothing for my home theater. Returning it January 13, 2015 I purchased it to be used as a system for my living room unfortunately it just simply is not as loud as I wanted, also I had trouble getting all the speakers to work at one time I spent over a hour trying to set it up I finally rigged it enough that they would work but sometimes they just shut off randomly not a very good system the system looks good it is very small and it deffinately Is not 800w I believe they added a extra 0 to that lol more like 80w I was originally very happy about the wonderful deal I found with this system January 5, 2015 I was originally very happy about the wonderful deal I found with this system. I don't know much about these systems but I thought it would be a good one for my boyfriend for Christmas. Overall it was a good purchase however, he would have preferred cordless first of all. Obviously that was my bad for not paying attention. Also it only works with tvs and thing with the color cords (red, white, yellow) and wouldn't work with his xbox hdmi hook up so he couldn't use it with his games like he wanted. We had to get an adapter cord (another $30) but I thought easier than returning it and still cheaper than other systems. Like I said, overall happy with the purchase but I wish I had payed a little more attention before deciding this was the one. Plugs problem December 26, 2014 Could not use it: Sound plugs in modern TV set are not compatible with this system, or vice versa. Had to return it. Sorry. | 3% ... a string of fairy lights which my grand daughter liked so I kept them and picked up the 16 ... September 17, 2017 its really difficult to rate this product because I never received it in it's stead I received a string of fairy lights which my grand daughter liked so I kept them and picked up the 16 gauge wire a my place of employment the only fail Amazon has had in there relationship with me Not happy with that May 25, 2017 Amazon should of ran a dark black or red line (single) instead of white to determine the positive or negative wire tubing. The white line is very faint, so you don't see it well. Not happy with that. But, good basic wire over all. Note well - Not Oxygen free I'll buy again October 26, 2016 I would give this product if there consistency amount roles.I bought 3 roles and 2 of them marked the positive wire with a white stripe, the 3rd spool marked the negative wire with a black stripe. None of the rolls marked both.Pros:Looks/feels/behaves just like my RCA branded speaker wireCons:As above, lacks consistent markings for +/-Overall:I'll buy again Cheap enough, even if it is only CCA. June 8, 2016 Just a heads-up, this is only CCA wire, not OFC. It's not bad, specially for the price. It's better than included cables and decent enough replacement for entry-level to mid-range audio systems or home theaters. Just be informed. If you can afford $50 for the cables, there are better solutions available. Sound is decent. Stripping the insulation off the wire ... June 3, 2016 Sound is decent. Stripping the insulation off the wire seems to take more effort than I remember with other brands. Tough to distinguish between the two wires, they just use a faint white line on one wire that can be tough to see, especially in the dark behind an entertainment center as you attempt to hook up the speakers. Fine CCA Cable March 18, 2014 This is basic CCA audio cable. It also appears to be the advertised gauge. Unless you have a high end audio system I see no need in splurging on OFC cabling. I usually tin the ends of the cabling anyway so the connection points aren't a great concern. It would be recommendable to use 14 gauge wire, but I've only got a mid-range Onkyo receiver and basic speakers. When I upgrade my speaker package the cost of good 14 gauge OFC cable will be included in that purchase. | 18% There are no reviews yet | 11% There are no reviews yet |

Two Star Reviews: | 13% product is a lot smaller than it looks and the ... October 6, 2015 product is a lot smaller than it looks and the fact that you have to use a thumb drive or sim card to use it makes it inconvenient. THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT THAT GOOD. September 15, 2015 I HAVE HAD OFF AND ON TROUBLE WITH IT AND I MIGHT END UP ORDING ANOTHER TYPE. THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT THAT GOOD. sorry but dont like that. February 12, 2015 So diffcicult to install, I have spent many times and I can't finish, does not bring any user guide ups, sorry but dont like that. Save your money February 2, 2015 Complete junk, does not go very loud, my computer speakers work better. Do not recommend. Wasn't satisfied at all April 13, 2014 One of the speakers came distorted. I mean its a good product for someone young and just wanting something to listen to music but nothing spectacular. | 1% Came in too late so July 25, 2017 Well.....the product should be good but it came in too late... so I had to buy another one from best buy to hook the new karaoke system and speakers I bought for a party I had. Good wire, needs line. April 19, 2017 Good wire, but it needs a line on one side to make install easier. Good except for the missing wire. April 13, 2017 Your basic speaker wire. All is well except for the 10 or so inches in the middle of the spool which was completely missing copper conductors on the black side. It's a good thing I didn't install it permanently. Mild frustration that didn't require me to tear the wall apart. Two Stars November 19, 2016 This is not pure copper and rather copper cladded aluminum. Copper wires can be had for a similar price. Other than that it's very good quality. However June 12, 2016 No markings on the sheathing makes me give this wire a low rating. It should have some kind of stripe or something so you can keep the polarity correct. You need additional equipment in order to use this wire correctly. Other than that it's very good quality. However, the shortcomings would prevent me from either recommending or re-purchasing this wire. If it had the obviously needed markings I would have given it 5 stars. Two Stars April 12, 2016 Had an issue with the casing on the wire in some areas, needing to re-run lines. | 12% There are no reviews yet | 5% There are no reviews yet |

February 18, 2017 The system doesnt sound horrible but when it says the speakers are 100 watts each but arent and the reason i bought it was because it said the subwoofer is 300 watts but really its only 30 watts thats what it says on the magnet so dont purchase unless your not looking for anything real loud and pounding The unit had a good sound. It was easy to use and easy ... November 5, 2015 The unit only answered the remote about half the time. The unit had a good sound. It was easy to use and easy to set up. All bad February 9, 2015 It is extremely low and when I have it maxed or even at vol 47 the bass sounds TERRIBLE! I would NOT reccommend anyone purchase this product. I hate it very unhappy February 9, 2015 System sucks, weakest 800 watt surround sound I have ever heard , do not buy Run August 8, 2014 I want everyone to know that this is not a real company. There is no way to activate your warranty. Do not buy from this seller. Acoustic Audio Direct is a domain name up for bid to be bought. Run do not walk away from here. My car stereo puts out more than this. No no....not good. March 25, 2014 Only had it for a week before the main speaker broke...luckily we figured out how to hook the other speakers up to a different system. I wouldn't buy it again. | 2% Paid for 100 feet of speaker wire, only got 70. September 17, 2017 Had to do two pulls of wire, one of 35 feet and one of 45 feet. Thought the reel was a little light but the label said it was 100 feet. Ended up with one successful pull of 35 feet and another of about 35 feet leaving me having to run out to get more (expensive) wire from Best Buy. Never buying this again. Not suits my preferance! January 8, 2017 I thought it has an identifier for positive and negative! I guess i have to make means of what i paid for. I really don't understand why they manufacture speaker wires that is not convenient to install. Not real copper wire. November 7, 2016 Copper clad aluminum wire. It should say so in the description for those of us looking for pure copper wire. but this is CCA and its going in the garbage. Not going to cut it for the 50ft ... September 10, 2016 I didn't think to read the reviews first, after all its just speaker wire... Amazon basics I usually trust, but this is CCA and its going in the garbage. Not going to cut it for the 50ft run I have. | 30% There are no reviews yet | 10% There are no reviews yet |
