I have lost count of how many varying topologies of speaker cables I have built over the years. IMO, cables made from Teflon clad wire yields the best results.
Currently, I use the Jon Risch 89259 cross connected speaker cables. This speaker cable is listed as "Highest Performance" on the link below. After many, many, DIY speaker cables I have built this is the cable that sounds best in my system.
The Teflon clad Chris VenHaus braided CAT5 speaker cable I also find to be exceptional. The VH CAT5 braids I use for the internal wiring of my speakers. There is a link to the VH design midway down the page in the Jon Risch link below.
For my sub-woofers I use solid core PVC clad 12-gauge twisted wires from my amp to the subs. My subs are are powered by a separate amp from the amp that powers the mids and highs. I haven't tried various speaker cables here. I am satisfied with the sound I get with these cables for my subs.
Teflon clad CAT5 cable is sold in big box home improvement stores in the USA as plenum CAT5 cable. The price for this cable is nominal per foot. The cost is in the labor it takes to braid the wire into the speaker cables.
There are a myriad of DIY speaker cable formulas that may be had via a web search. Jon Risch did a ton of research on wire and there coverings. You can benefit from his experience by reading his website.
Good luck on your quest.
