Lamp cord for speaker wire

[sonikaccord]

my brother had his subs hooked up with lamp wire up until he sold the car and also no fire.

dont they say its cheaper and u get the same effect if u run power wire using jumper cables too? i took my friend to like the only car audio place around here, go-ho auto audio, and i think he paid like $50 for just 12' of 4awg wire. thats rediculous.

That's too high...I paid 40 for some 1/0. As long as the jumper cables are the gauge you need and can reach the trunk.

I'm bored and want to stir up some trouble....What are everyone's thoughts on using lamp cord for speaker wire?

I'll start...honestly, I see no difference in using this rather than the expensive "name brand" wire from the store.

I have every right to post in here according to the OP's question. Thanks

My thoughts are simply that I wouldn't use it, not that it wouldn't work. He didn't ask for technical data to prove it would work, just "what are your thoughts" if I'm reading correctly.

Not me. Sounds like a good way to burn a car to the ground.

im no electrician but im pretty sure theres more electricity flowing through a lamp being powered verses a amp powering a speaker. so why would this start a fire in your car and not your house???
