heck yeah! With power wire you get what you pay for. Your main brands are going to treat you right. When i ran 4 i had monster cable and that stuff worked great for me. And it matters if your looking for flexability, because ive had rockford and kicker and i liked their coading

all of these are good to up 700 watts?
