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

Duelund Dual DCA16GA 2x16 awg, Tin-plated, Stranded Copper, Oiled Cotton Speaker/Interconnect Cable

 

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!

As interconnects, why would you opt for side-by-side 16 ga. wire?  Are you unaware that opens up a world of RFI/EMI pickup?  The Jupiter wire is twisted…a better choice for unbalanced ICs.  For speaker wire, the Dueland might be fine at lengths up to 4M.  Beyond that, maybe go heavier.  For shorter, no need.
