Who makes good speaker wire that I can buy online?

I need some good 8 gauge (i believe) speaker wire. Are there any quality speaker wire manufacturers for a decent price that I can just get like a small spool from?

I was confused, it doesn't say that I need 8 gauge anywhere. What gauge of speaker wire do 300-500 rms subs need?

14g would probably work. I would just get some 12g and call it a day. The output from your amps isn't a low voltage so you don't need as much current going through. You'd be surprised what you can pull off with small speaker wire

For 300-500 watts you can go to walmart and get some of their so called 12 gauge speaker wire and call it a day.

I used 8 ( realistically, probably 10 gauge ) speaker wire for my subs but I run 3000+ watts to each one

So you strip the clear jacket and then there's normal speaker wire inside? What's the purpose of this? Haha

It looks cool. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Actually the wires are twisted to resist noise. It is not needed imho. PE has some 14 gauge for $10. It is a 50 ft spool, high strand count. I like it.
