If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire?

Duelund Dual DCA16GA 2x16 awg, Tin-plated, Stranded Copper, Oiled Cotton Speaker/Interconnect Cable

 

I'm thinking this wire and adding some quality banana plugs or RCA connectors to make interconnects.  Is 2x16 enough or should I double up?  Is shielding an issue?  Thanks!

Well the speakers I have currently hooked up are Omega Super 3 High Output XRS.  They're a high sensitivity speaker and around 6 ohms.  Amp is a Rogue Cronus Magnum 3.

Cool, I'm trying to find some examples where others built cables out of this wire... for some ideas.
