Well a buddy of mine gave me a sony 1400w amp and 2 sony subs and I was thinking of putting them in the MB. I designed a way so that they are connected with quick disconnects so if I need to take it out, it will be fast and easy. Ive heard of people using household/building 1/0-4/0 wire, even welding wire for the power. Reason I was asking if this could be used is because another buddy of mine has a ton left over from when his garage was being built.

It's solid strand and will get hot, melt, and catch sometihng on fire.
I have seen this tried numerous times. I even tried it once. It didn't work lol.
