Default Cheap 18 gauge speaker wire or something more expensive?

I got a Panasonic Head unit with Boston Acoustic's speakers (jus in the front doors and back seats). I went to Autozone and got this cheap 20ft roll of 18 g. speaker wire for 5.99. Should I opt for something else? I am not trying to build a super bad *** sound system but jus' want to know if this is "under"kill so-to-speak. If so, could you recommend one?

should be fine. I don't think the type of wire makes a noticeable difference.

As long as you get the correct Gauge wire then WIRE IS WIRE. Not real difference.
