>/ About a year ago I went to a local audio store to buy speaker wire. While
/>/ there, I spotted a large spool of bare #8 stranded that was very, very
flexible.
/>/ It appeared to be more woven than stranded.
/Surprised it was bare. Probably used as ground wire for car audio
installations?
Maybe what's known as "rope-stranded bare copper"
(google) would do. Typically jacketed though?
By example

#8 has 133 strands so must be pretty flexible.
or possibly "battery cable" or "welding cable" also?
see here for a lot of info about strand types etc
