Multistranded copper of sufficient thickness is fine by me.
Suggestions please ?

6A or 13A mains flex. Available on 100m reels from electrical
factors.

You'd have problems finding these in 2 core.

You can sometimes find two core 3182Y in sizes up to 2.5mm, but I
don't know if it's available any larger than that. Most of the larger
sizes are three core. It's also a bit bulkier than the equivalent size
of 'speaker cable', due to the extra layer of sheathing.

Glenn.
