   Regardless of flexibility, I thought that stranded wire would always
provide better current flow, at least my employer who is an electrician
goes by that theory.  I was also taught that in school.  Why would the
Fosgate monster wire be so fine if it werent for maximum amperage?  This
is assuming electron flow on the surface.
