Making Speaker Cables

I am going to make some cables (instrument, mic, and speaker). Got all I need except bulk speaker cable. I will use 2-pole Speakons on it. I would like to find some bulk 2 conductor 14AWG cable that has the nice rubber jacket on the outside like the expensive looking Speakon cable that came with my EBS head. Anyone have a model number or a source that will sell 20'. I think I am looking for 14AWG to make things easier to work with and bend.

Thanks,

Dave
 
I used the 13 AWG from parts express to make my speaker cables. When I bought my cable I could order it by the foot. They are the perfect size for speakons as 12 guage cable can be difficult to get in the speakon connectors. 14, 16, or 18 guage will work fine unless you are pushing gobs of power and have long cable runs.
