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!

Perfect as is.

 

I ran this cable against the Silversmith Fidelium and not much in it at all sound wise. Silversmiths had slight edge. Factor in the cost though and Duelund is the hands down winner.

 

12 guage makes the sound bassier/heavier, and is not as well suited IMHO
