If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire?

I'm thinking this wire and adding some quality banana plugs or RCA connectors to make interconnects.  Is 2x16 enough or should I double up?  Is shielding an issue?  Thanks!

This was a fun project.  Message me if you would like any info on other parts/suppliers use.  

@digsmithd  Thanks.  I'm about to make another paid with Bananas.  I like the crimp style connectors and have settled on:

Took me awhile to find these.  Might try a drop of solder after the crimp.
