I need ot get some speaker wire to get from my amp in the back to my components up front. Should I get some twisted speaker wire, or just regular stuff?

I'm having trouble finding the twisted stuff locally.

Really? I'd think it work the same as twisted pair in cat5 cable. It acts as a type of shielding to help prevent noise and interference.

It's not like it's a low level signal. It's a fvcking power output. Shielding is not required.


edit: besides, Cat5 isn't shielded at all. The point of twisted pair is to reduce interference in other wires (which, in cat 5's case, would be the adjacent pairs..)

I just get my siblings to touch the wire from the battery to the speakers and the current just goes through em. I always drive with at least 5 people.

Is it good stuff? The prices seem awesome

Is it legit or what? :D

I've ordered quite a bit from there. Not bad, good for the price. Quick shipping.

i have gotten mine in 2 days from order date (like 9pm orders) and its very legit.
