Hello~ everyone!
There are several speaker cables below,
I want to use these as a crossover to units wire at speaker inside.
Which of the following is more suitable as a speaker inside wire,
If there are other better wires, please also recommend me, thank you!


1. Sweden SUPRA PLY 3.4 5N (2X3.4mm)
2. USA DH LABS OFH-14AWG 7N (2X2.0mm)
3. USA DH LABS Prelude >4N (2X4.0mm)
4. Germany Inakustik Excellence MSR 6N (2X4.0mm)
5. Germany Inakustik Excellence Atmos Air 6N (2X3.0mm)
6. Germany SOMMER MERIDIAN 240 3N (2X4mm)
7. Switzerland Gotham 50025 3N (2X2.5mm)



PS. My units are Accuton treble and midrange two-way bookshelf speaker,
currently using the speaker cable is SUPRA Quadrax & DH Labs banana plugs

Your Supra Quadrax is 4X2.0mm in star quad configuration.
Any of your 7 choices should work well inside the box.

This post is only partially correct.
It matters how the star quad wire is connected to the speaker box.
If the wire is connect in bi-wire fashion with 4 connections, one for each of the 4 wires, then my answer of any one will do is correct, as you would only need 2mm wire at a minimum and all your choices are at least that.

However, if you are connecting with just a single set of binding posts and doubling the wires, then you need to use one of the 4mm wires for the inside speaker wires. This is in keeping with Mr. Fahey's post.
The brand of wire doesn't really matter, but the 4mm size does. You list four 4mm wires in the OP, but there are others you could use.

Perhaps instead of mocking me in your response you should have offered a technical reason about wire inside the speaker box explaining my errors.
The rule for wire inside the box is the same as for outside the box: thick enough, flexible enough, cheap enough. There is no technical reason why it has to be the same as any other wire.
 
Thank you all!
Everyone's advice is invaluable.
I decided to be a conservative choice and the most economical solution
Take an Existing SUPRA PLY 3.4 for inside wire.

The problem of the inside wire is solved, but there is another problem at present.
The design of the crossover and the frequency cut point,
I will create a new post.
