[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 386469, member: 550915"] You will not hear the difference. If you think you must spend a ton of money, get the least expensive wire you can find (cause it will work just fine) and send me the rest of the money you would have spent on the expensive snob wire. The home audio guys have one thing to worry about that we don't, induced noise from 120V 60hz AC. That is why they shield the crap out of all their signal wires or use balanced signal cables. Noise in car audio usually comes from bad grounds or defective components, not from genuinely induced noise. The only benefit to buying a level above the absolute cheapest speaker and power wire is the more expensive stuff usually has a more flexible jacket and it easier to work with. Makes the install a bit easier but there is no difference in sound. [/QUOTE]
