Bob,

The foil and tinned copper braid should be removed completely for this to make a good speaker cable, if you leave the foil and braid in place, without hooking them up, it will not make for very good sonics.

Essentially, you will be using only the foamed teflon core with the solid 14 gauge bare copper wires as the conductors. Twist them tightly, and use some quality heatshrink to bind them together as tightly as possible.
