[QUOTE="maylar, post: 127048, member: 541144"] That only applies to high frequency AC current. It's a phenomenon called "skin effect", where the electrons migrate to the outside of the conductor. At VHF frequencies they even use hollow conductors, because current doesn't flow down the center anyway. But for DC and low frequency AC it doesn't apply, although the effect starts happening at high audio frequencies and could actually affect highs going to your speakers. Don't use solid wire for speakers :p But for DC power applications, stranded wire is used for its flexibility and durability under vibration. That's all. [/QUOTE]
