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!

terminate with some good quality ends as needed

spending any more on cables is a waste of money. The high end cable companies have duped most audiophiles into believing they need to spend big $$ to get good cables. One of the biggest scams ever perpetrated on the ignorant consumer. Use what you save to buy some records, you are welcome

likewise these are excellent line level cables, all you need. Or make your own. You can get the raw cable these are made of from the source above
