I ran outta speaker wire today, but I have some Scoshe(crappy) RCA's laying around. Was wondering if I could strip those and use em as speaker wire?

errrr....I don't think so. Then again I've never given it a shot.

Why not just buy some more speaker wire //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

That involves me getting in my car, driving to Old skool customs or radio shack, buying more wire.

I'm really comfortable in my house haha.

Goin out right now though to buy some more speaker wire. Tried taking the wires apart and the copper wire inside was very very very narrow.

Not recommended.

RCA's typically use very small gauge wire.

It would work, although most interconnect cables are 18-24awg.

Not really worth it.
