Can I use home audio speaker cable in my car?

Is home audio speaker cable the same thing as car audio cable?

Aw come on it's a perfectly valid question isn't it? is it?! am I being a douche?

I love how much trolling is going on here. If you know a bit about home audio cable, you'll know that the cable has a massive impact on the system. Try running awesome speakers with awful cable and then compare to using heavy duty OFC cable with the right terminations and you'll hear the difference.

My question is merely with the lower voltage coming from car electronics does it run the power to the speakers at the same rate as a home audio system or is car audio designed with less resistance?

but keep the trolling answers coming because i run my home audio system on castrol GTX because i find it lubricates the voltage a lot better

I tend to spray WD40 up and down my speaker cable before installing it, it helps the sound travel smoothly along the wires.

Seriously though, seems I'll be fine using home audio speaker wire in the car...!
