What kind of speaker wire/RCAs?

Anyone have any recommendations on what brand/type/size of speaker wire I should use for my components? I am currently using crappy 16 gauge wire and getting some noise (I know it's the wiring cause I used to have the same RCAs, ground, but different speaker wire with no noise. I would go back to the Monster cable but I wanted to know if the knukonceptz twisted wires would work better for my situation (I'm running two pairs of wires up each side and would like to do it with either one cable or flat cables). Anyone with any experience or advise, please let me know. I'm also planning on replacing my RCAs and looking for recommendations.

knukonceptz is great stuff for cheap-ish

wire is wire generally though, as far as speaker wire anyway, just get the appropriate size

that being said, I run 14awg from my trunk to my front speakers, was going to run 12 but ordered some off ebay and it wasnt here yet so I said *** it and went with 14awg that I already had

I run 12 from my xovers under the dash into the doors, and 12 from my sub amp to my box as well

As for RCA's, I run some uber expensive Stinger Expert Series. The ends screw off so that you can push them on, then screw the end back on so it clamps down super tight for an awesome connection. Aside from that, they are thick as ****.
