i'd say so. In all honesty, I've heard a lot of sound systems, and the wiring really doesnt make that big of a difference...especially with subs. They're just booming anyway, not much sound quality to be lost. I just ran some cable I had laying around the house, and it works fine.

also, if you look at the wires going to your stock speakers, they're I think 24 gauge......tiiiiiny. So if you're splicing off of those to get a signal to the subs (like I did), then that's your bottleneck right there, so there's really no use using higher cable much anywhere else.

No i just want to know if the wire is ok to use inside of the box to connect the sub to the connectors on the box.
