first is their a big difference between the stinger twist wire and the normal stinger wire. Will 16 gauge be good for speakers or should i use 14 gauge.

2nd both my amps are pulling a little over 100 amps of current. what style fuse holder should i use?

basically a speaker wire is speaker wire. nothing really special with them. i buy the 16 gauge speaker wire in walmart, and i love em.

either wire will work fine,no big difference.As far as the speaker wire i would use the thickest wire that will work.I heard the thicker the wire the cleaner the signal.

Doesn't affect "cleanliness", but resistance...which can decrease the amount of power your speakers actually receive.

so i have a 4 channel amp that is about 125watts each channel. should i go with the 14 gauge or 16 gauge?

16awg speaker wire is fine.

RCA cables that use "twisted pair" construction have superior noise rejection qualities over non-twisted pair RCA cables.

the thicker the wire you'll get better output to your speakers due to less resistence.....it doesn't matter if you're only running it for 2-3 ft but it'll matter a bit if you're running it from the front to the back tho cause with thinner wire it'll create more resistence!
