Typically house wiring is rigid single core conductors with 3-4 wires sheathed together. This makes the cable extremely rigid, and not very friendly to handle, exspecialy in a automotive environment.

Whereas, in automotive wiring the wire is multi-stranded, which makes it very flexable, and easy to handle and route.

Typical house wiring is rated for 15-50 amperes. If you intend to install a high output amplifier. Than, that may pose a problem.

I have never seen anyone use common 3-4 wire rigid wire in a vehicle before.

But, hey its your decision to do so. Personaly, I would not do so.

Knowledge is power. But only if you apply that knowledge in a positive way, which promotes positive results in others.
