RCA/Speaker wire help

I have a box of cables and wires a buddy gave me a long time ago. I've had no use for them until now. He had 4 gauge power cable, some fuses and ground wires and what not. These three were in there but I'm not sure which one of these are speaker wire or rca cables (I'm pretty new to car audio).

The first one is a clear yellow with red and blue ends (says 2-channel ofc performance interconnect)

Second is a clear wire with clear and blue ends (says platinum c2 shielded cable oxygen free high current)

Third is a solid yellow with black and red ends (has no writing)

All 3 are RCAs, the first 2 are oxygen free copper which is better than cca, or copper clad aluminum. They are usually used to hook up the head unit to the amp.

Thanks, thats kind of what I was thinking.

One more question...what ends/connectors do I have to get for speaker wires? It looks like on my amp the speaker out connections just pinch with the screw but on the end with the sub do I have do get quick connects or the actual plugs that go right into the sub?

What sub? Mine had the option for banana plugs or pinching the wire. I just went with pinching the wire in the push plug
