Holiday weekend.
I also need to check any loose screws on the bottom as Mark suggested. Maybe I'll do it tonight or tomorrow morning. I'll see how I feel not in the mood right now. 
Yep, not particularly suited for speakers....altho you could make your own!
This is true and a good idea, but they are not true 12 Gauge awg.Come on, you could make your own fancy twisted style....diy Kimber Kable if you will
Well the gauge is related to diameter, but it is CCA I just saw....so yeah I'd return it too
Check out parts express I’ve gotten some decent cable off them for my garage project. Seems to be decent cable and reasonable priced .
I buy this Belden by the foot. Pure copper too!
I used canare 4s11 on mine but the Belsen cable is very good aswell and a little cheaper too . I got this free from a friend that did his whole set up he had about 50 ft left over and wanted to know if I’d try it out all I did was buy the connectors to terminate the ends I like it a lot it don’t get any cheaper than that but I do recommend a good heavy cable in this gauge for sure .
Is that flexible enough to use for making cables, or do you use it just in-wall? Some blue or red mesh over the black sheathing and some heat-shrink tubing would make a nice cable.
Thought you wanted to avoid CCA?
No they will go under bed and a medium size rug to cover wires to receiver. Those aren't good. I never used monoprice speaker wires, just HDMI back in the day.
It’s flexible enough. I don’t run it through the wall. If I could get 14 gauge I probably would going forward, because the 12 is pretty tight in some banana plugs that use set screws.
I use crimp on ferrules on wire that size and two twisted pair of 4S11 are a touch bigger but after crimped good they are a lot easier to tighten clear down to clear the shell .
Go for the 12 ga monoprice pure copper you don’t want copper clad .
