The standard 16 ga speaker wire I find everywhere has clear insulation and a white stripe down one side. It's a real pita for an old fart with crummy vision.. Does anybody know of a retail store that has something different? I used to get stuff that had one side copper and the other side tinned, but I haven't seen it in a while.

 
I use Stinger 16awg. It's separated into purple and clear, both twisted within a clear outter layer. The stuff is darn near the size of 8awg, all things said and done. It can be a pain in the ass to strip, though, let me tell you.

 
I use zeropoint for my sub wires (overkill) and one is silver, the other blue. Can't miss that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I went with Kenwood Exelon. Audio Control amp and speakers. It’s amazing! I’m glad I did some research before buying. Thanks guys.

Yes. Only thing is the leads will be encased in resin. Keep in mind that this is an assumption.

I agree with every one above. OFC is much better. Copper is a much better conductor than aluminum.
