Why mess around? #1 this wire has no insulation which of course is a risk for shorting, #2 if used the copper would oxidize which, from what I read is a poor conductor and can cause sonic problems,#3 If I remember correctly from tests done along time ago at a certain point, I believe after 12-10AWG sound quality deteriorates. I remember the sweet spot being 12-10. That's thicker than 10awg the sound can or does deteriorate. The Temco solderable 10awg magnet wire is on the way. This will be my speaker wire until such time I'm ready to try well reviewed commercial products. The 10 AWG, IMHO would be a great place to start and judge other speaker cable from this point of reference. Hope this answers your question DeKay. Tweaker
