The copper strands are solid.
As long as it exceeds the thickness that most factory vehicles have, it is resistant.
I believe it can be done, but the gauge might be a little thicker Our trucks are fitted with light bars and other accessories powered by this system. The current required for a speaker to run will be transported by this cable, but it may be larger than you need. As long as you hide the wires, you will not have any problems. I've used this in countless projects due to its excellent all-around performance.

Despite the fact that my lights are all low voltage LEDs, this is the standard for marine applications. As long as I kept the heat gun back far enough, the plastic held up fine when I used heat shrink butt connectors.
It's been about ten months since I bought a roll of this to rewire some 12 V lights. Several lights failed to work, so I investigated and discovered that the black wire inside the sheath is a piece of aluminum (I think it is silver) that has completely disintegrated. All the black wire has disintegrated, and you can't even remove the copper red wire, since the copper inside has turned to dust. The copper red side of the black wire is fine, but the entire black wire has completely disintegrated. Anywhere along the run, I can cut the wire, and it still works as intended. This is so incredible, I need to run it again.
It was used to power fog lights, and the wiring was destroyed after only six months. The best copper for real automotive wiring is to buy it! I learned a lesson from this. All of the wires must now be rewired.
This works really well. The ease of not having to run separate wiring for each circuit is amazing. There is nothing better than color coding. I had to pay a little more for this, but it was worth it.
The stuff I got when I got it was really good. Several projects have made use of it. My problem was that I had to deal with each and every one one at a time. In some cases, the connections would corrode and the wires would snap. Because I am unable to think of another way to describe it, I use "foul. " Is there some sort of oxidation going on? There would be a failure of the wires. There were several failures, with some of them happening repeatedly, whether it was a connector or solder. I'm replacing little by little this stuff as I remove it, throw it out, and throw it away. I've spent a lot of time and money in this, as well as experienced incredible grief.
To wire my mower with a sprayer, I had to install an electrical circuit. Despite having so much wire, it was too little to complete my project. That's too bad. I got more of that.
It is a great thing to keep in the toolbox and have on hand for all those times you need to do car accessories.
