I would just use KnuKonceptz wire. Best bang for your buck, IMO.

what do you another type of cable do you recommend for 6.5 speakers focal?

That's a decent price for good 16 gauge wire, but I don't believe in the ridiculous hype of Monster cables. I would play it safe and order 2 spools to get 100 ft. I wouldn't ever use 12 gauge wire on 6.5" mids, if that's what your plan is.

Truthfully, you are just wasting your money by running 12 gauge to 6.5's. You are probably not running enough watts to them to need a wire that size. 16 awg would be much more appropriate for those speakers. maybe 14 if you have a very long run

Pure copper 16 ga. The brand isn't really relevant since it's discontinued, but it's Esoteric Audio. The equivalent now would be Streetwires.
