[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8662154, member: 540940"] Factory amps are generally low power. Many "low power" aftermarket amps would be pretty powerful in comparision. With more power comes more current demand. So in order to use a stock wire for power you'd need to know with a high degree of certainty that the wire you're using is capable of supplying the current you need. It would also be wise to know what protection (fuse) is in place on the wire. Chances are it is routed in a bundle with a lot of other wires and if something bad happens you would risk damaging the wiring for the adjacent circuits. [/QUOTE]
