Product Description

Premium Marine Tinned Speaker Wire (14/2 & 16/2): 100ft Spool


Our 14/2 and 16/2 Marine Tinned Speaker Wire is engineered for delivering clean, pure audio signals to your boat’s speakers. With tinned copper conductors, it offers superior corrosion resistance and longevity in harsh marine environments, ensuring reliable performance for years.

Key Features of Our Marine Speaker Wire:

  • Tinned Copper Conductors: Tinned strands enhance corrosion resistance, making this speaker wire ideal for marine use.
  • High Strand Count: Our wire features fine, Type III stranding, which provides maximum flexibility and prevents metal fatigue from boat vibrations. High strand counts also mean better signal integrity and easier installation compared to solid wires.
  • Clear Jacketing: Designed for a professional, clean installation, the clear jacket protects the wire while giving you an aesthetically pleasing look.

Why Choose Our Marine Tinned Speaker Wire?

  • Corrosion Resistance: The tinning process ensures each copper strand is coated to withstand the marine elements, preventing oxidation and ensuring a long-lasting signal.
  • Superior Flexibility: High strand count means this wire is easier to route through tight spaces and holds up better under stress and movement.
  • Enhanced Signal Quality: High-purity copper ensures lower resistance for clear, powerful audio output.

For boat owners and marine audio installers, our 14/2 and 16/2 marine speaker wire provides the ultimate solution for high-quality sound on the water.

How to Choose Marine Wire Size:

There are three factors when choosing the right wire gauge:

  1. Current draw of the device – measured in Amps
  2. Total length of the run – measured in feet as a “round trip”
  3. Allowable voltage drop – measured in % loss of voltage

ABYC says that non-critical loads like a livewell, or courtesy lights should have no more than a 10% voltage drop, while critical loads like a bilge pump or navigation lights should have no more than a 3% voltage drop.

Remember, length of the run is a “round trip”… so from the battery, out to the load and back.    Example calculations are below the table.

boat wire sizing chart

Example 1:

Your livewell pulls 6A.  There is 10 feet from the battery to the switch panel, then 5 more feet from the switch panel to the console livewell.

Length of run is 10 + 5 + 5 + 10 = 30ft (from battery to load, and back again)

On a livewell a 10% voltage drop is acceptable, so we use the top table.  We’ll round up the 6A, to 10A, and use 14AWG wire.

Example 2:

Your LED navigation lights pull 3A.  There is 10ft from the battery to the switch panel, then 14ft of wire from the switch panel to the lights.

Length of run is 10 + 14 + 14 + 10 = 48ft (from the battery to load, and back again)

Navigation lights are critical, so only 3% voltage drop is allowed, so we use the bottom table.  We’ll round the 3A up to 5A, and 48ft up to 50ft, and use 10 AWG wire.

ABYC Current Rating:

Full chart below.  Use the 105°C rating… most often the column for outside engine spaces.  Current ratings of the wire we carry, non-bundled, outside engine spaces is:

  • 16AWG – 25A
  • 14AWG – 30A
  • 12 AWG – 40A
  • 10 AWG – 55A
