The two wires are twisted together and each have a clear coating on them, then they both have a solid clear coating around both of them. I found it impossible to strip the clear around the wires off without cutting into the wires. I had bought 15 feet of the 10 gauge which I spent about an hour and a half trying to strip ONCE. I finally got pissed, threw the wire out of the garage, and said I'd never use it again.
Get normal speaker wire from KnuKonceptz, not the twisted speaker wire.
Well.i think i am not going to buy twisted one.Here is the description and link for what i am going to buy.

That works just fine. I have used that in several installs and it is good wire, especially for the price.

It's only KnuKonceptz that I have problem with the twisted speaker wire. I use other companies twisted no problem. And it isn't ALL of KnuKonceptz twisted, only the big wire. I used their 16g twisted with no problems. It appears to be only their 10g and larger.

The outside jacket kind of fused together with each wires jacket, and made it like 1 solid mass that was impossible to strip without cutting to the wire.
