I would like to put my truck back together as I've been putting it off for 2 months now. I "completed" my system in February, but ran out of wire for the tweeters. I had some cheap wire laying around and used it to wire up them up. Well I didn't have quite enough so I had to cut it short, not being able to hide it.
Anyhow, all the panels that touch the floor have been out because I didn't want to install them, then take them back out whenever I redid the wiring.
I found some Monster Cable wire at Wal-Mart. One roll was 12 awg. 18 ft. long for $25 and another roll 16 awg. 50 ft. long for $20. Both were a twisted design. I was tempted to buy it, but I know I could get it cheaper online and plus, the 12 awg. was WAY over priced.
My question, is twisted wire better?
I'm thinking about doing my wiring all over again because for one, I don't like the color of what I have now (purple) and since I'm short on some of it, I might as well do it all over so that it will match. I know some of you will say, why, you can't see it. Well you can where it connects to the amps. I'd rather have silver, black, or blue.

I know its a little pricey and I"m sure that's because of the twisted design. Should I get it or just stick to the regular (non-twisted) wire?
Where's the best (cheapest) place to purchase Stinger, Kicker, Monster, etc. speaker wire? Thanks.
