Amazon Basics 16-Gauge Speaker Wire Cable, 100 Feet, Bronze https://a.co/d/gmd3jhk
According to multiple entries in questions and answers, this is copper clad aluminum.
Not surprising given the price point. But it's disappointing that it's not clearly stated in the product description.
16 gauge is fine for runs less than 50 feet I believe; anything longer you want 12 gauge. Also I prefer/recommend to use banana plugs [monoprice.com] when connecting the speaker wire. A little trick I do to ensure a good connection is to spray the banana plugs with Deoxit.
Edit
Not sure why my post was edited by the staff for "A3P link". Is linking Deoxit at Amazon forbidden fruit here? Perhaps it's a secret safe word in frugal sex dungeons? Seems a bit overzealous/ridiculous if it wasn't a mistaken auto edit by the forum system IMO...
Edit part deux
Seems like this wire is CCA [reddit.com](Copper Clad Aluminum). There's lots of cons of CCA wire that you can read about here [gearit.com]. Basically CCA is poor quality wire that should be avoided for long runs/lengths but 16 gauge CCA wire should be fine for short distances under 15 feet.
