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!

Well the speakers I have currently hooked up are Omega Super 3 High Output XRS.  They're a high sensitivity speaker and around 6 ohms.  Amp is a Rogue Cronus Magnum 3.

Cool, I'm trying to find some examples where others built cables out of this wire... for some ideas.

Sure, my setup is a Rogue Cronus Magnum 3, Chord Qutest, iFi Zen Stream and the Omega Super 3 High Output XRS speakers mentioned earlier.

I don't have any specific goals in mind, I'm just looking to build some cables for something to do.

Thanks for the suggestions, the Nanotec Golden Strada looks interesting.  I did a quick search and yeah, they appear to be hard to get.
