Can I use the power wire as a speaker wire?

[JasonB]

I just bought a sub & amp that came with a wiring kit but the power and ground wires are only 10ga + I need a fuse holder anyway so I'm just going to buy a 4ga kit instead. So can I use the 10ga wire that was supposed to be for the battery to amp as a speaker wire for my sub instead?

definitely. If you use the same color for positive and negative i'd suggest labeling tho, just a tip to save some headache //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/violent.gif.ccf64f7a34b20886d220db2fbff36f3b.gif

Yes, I use 10 ga as my speaker wires currently. At one point I was using 8 gauge.
