Magnet Wire Question

I've decided to try some magnet wire as speaker cable. I'd appreciate some help.

Is 18 ga heavy enough for a 10' run?

Do I twist two lengths and use one of the twisted leads for positive and one for negative? Or do I need to keep the legs separated with painters tape or something similar?

Any other info would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Gary

Ultra_fi, Can you explain how drill changes structure of the wire material (copper) and what "change of structure" is?

Thanks for the input! That's what I like about an inexpensive opportunity.

I'll try some different options-

For anybody interested, I made the 14 ga magnet wire cables today- sounds good to me...

I posted details in the cable section earlier, may take a while to show up.

Thanks for your help-
