I myself in my experiment quite awhile back led me to prefer stranded to solid in the ac situation. Big fat stranded wire, the bigger the better all the way up to 4 AWG in my testing on an amp. Others of course will disagree. Since this is a moderately big and permanent project you might want to put together a power cord for an amp with like 10 awg stranded and solid from the hardware store to see if you prefer one over the other. Not to say the audiophile grade solid wouldn't sound good or better. Never heard it. Looks like Romex goes all the way up to 4 AWG. "Nothing Succeeds Like Excess" according to Oscar Wilde. I will admit, 4 might be pushing it a little. But 8? T456
