Its copper wire. it will work if thats all you have and do not want to spend any money on new wire. Its safe to use for car speakers. I know most Trailer wiring is like 14ga copper. It can be used. Just make sure you connect + to + and Neg. to Neg. on the speakers and at the radio. That wiring is pretty rugged and weather resistant for quite a while too. It should be just fine. If you rather buy some new speaker wiring? Search for 16ga or 14ga in size on Ebay or other sites

It should work just fine if the outer protective coating isnt corroding becoming brittle or copper wiring exposed.

You can split off two wires and use those from the Radio to the speaker be sure to mark or remember which wire you used for _ and + from the HU/Radio to attach to the speaker.

If I'm not mistaken, THHN/THWN wire is primarily used for current load items (headlamps, taillamps, etc.), it's solid copper wire. It can be used but it's unyielding. Do yourself a favor and get some of some of this.

Better off just using speaker wire made for that or 9 wire wire if using an amplifier.
