[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 1146037, member: 555251"] My last amp used parts that were originally designed for use in Cold-War era B-52 bombers (the tube rectifiers originally built for the onboard radar).

Original intent has [I][B]nothing[/B][/I] to do with suitability. If you take into account all the design factors you need (in the case of wiring, flexibility, amperage, and jacket material), there's nothing wrong with using something that wasn't originally conceived for that use. For 90% of people out there, welding cable is cheaper than "car audio wire". So I don't know what you mean by this. [/QUOTE]
