Replacing SPeaker Wire to the trunk.. what kind?

What is the best kind of Speaker wire I can replace with in my car?

Was looking around, and saw some threads saying the Monster cables are really good.

Monster Performance Car - Monster 302 XLN® Speaker Cable (2-Conductor)

I'm trying to have great sounding system with the least amount of noise.

for speaker wire as well as as RCA's Twisted pair is the way to go. I always run 12 guage twisted pair directly into my doors from the amp.

in my wife's beetle, the shop was out of twisted pair and I had engine whine in my tweeters, switched to twisted pair, and boom..no noise.

for anything amplified I highly stress using at least 16 guage wiring. fir subs, minimum 12 guage wiring.

Thank you, so any brand will do? cause the rockford fosgate ones are breaking at the door jams (the little rubber grommet between the door and the body. my front left door has sound sometimes, depends on how I'm driving, and if I hit a bump just right.

ALready fixed it with a splice, but I want to replace all the wiring in the car again, and do it the right way, which ever way that is.

I'll go and browse around for some monster cables that are really flexible.

you ran the speaker wire through the factory door grommets and they still split?...now that is low quality.

EDIT:
After looking at my options, I can go all 12awg for the doors and my sub setup. using the stinger twisted pair. now to figure out where to install the crossover box, was thinking of putting that into the cavity before passing through the grommets into the doors, or find a place in the doors that is not inside the window area to install, most likely next to the pockets... not sure, have to investigate once I get the speakers. but the wire is chosen.

Thanks guys, every little detail is important.
