Torsion Balancing? Ummm... with "marketing hype" like that, I'd avoid them, to whit:
All of our power wire is high quality, high current power wire. Manufactured to true America Wire Gauge standards. We guarantee every gauge to be correct. They are constructed of Electroplated copper to prevent corrosion during manufacturing process. We also employ a rope/lay construction process that makes our cables extremely flexible. Torsion Balancing ensures that every installation retains the same magnetic field no matter how you bend or flex the cable. HyPermaflex Jacket is highly flexible for easy "non snag" installation. All wire is available in the following sizes: 8AWG, 4AWG, 1/0, and 2/0. Also available in refill form without the spool or spool holder option.
WOOHOO... I've heard it ALL now! That's rich, I'll say!
Damn, they're GOOD. They almost have me wanting to try some... This speaker wire is the Shun Mook of speaker cable! I also wonder how they can sell Silver-soldered connections in BULK WIRE?!?! It's SPEAKER WIRE, people... With the loads on the ends of a speaker wire, the strength of an interfering signal would have to be THOUSANDS of times higher than you'll ever experience in a car. Noise simply ISN'T induced on speaker cables.
All of our speaker cable are made to meet the new CEA 2006 standards. They are also designed with the latest noise suppression technology available. The wire features; Teflon Dielectrics which is the thinnest jacket available to allow for the closest twist for the ultimate in noise suppression. Electroplated copper, prevents corrosion while cables are made. Twisted pair construction, twisting rejects outside electrical signals from corrupting the music. HyPermaflex Jacket, highly flexible for easy "non snag" installation. Polycarbonate guards, high tem, high impact ends and strain relief. Silver Solder Joints, all connections are soldered with pure silver solder to insure the highest quality connection. Sealed Connections, all connections are the strain relief and the ends are sealed from air and moisture to protect the silver solder and signal quality. All wire is available in the following sizes: 8AWG, 4AWG, 1/0, and 2/0. Also available in refill form without the spool or spool holder option.
Didn't know speaker wire HAD CEA2006 standards even specified! I'll help you out with the search... There ISNT one... Read here.
Anyway, all I'm saying is this sounds like a typical over-rating, super-hyping car electronics company that I would probably avoid. Honesty doesn't really seem to be in their repertoir.
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I'll say one thing for them: they have a good technical marketing writer.  "Torsion Balancing" is necessary to ensure your car does not pull to the right or left.  Your torsion bars need to be equally tight.

Not what they mean?  Oh, sorry.  It means NOTHING in relation to electrical wires.  funkin audio - Last Post -- posted image.
