Be careful when using Mil-Spec.This wire is designed to enhance power transfer
efficiency in aircraft and other places.It is very superior to ordinary copper hookup wire,
and can be a bargain cost-wise, but it does have its
limitations-- it wasn't designed for High Fidelity.With that said, twisting 2 or 3 12ga. leads together
(for each leg, leave each polarity separated) can really drive
a speaker well. 12ga. is also good for internal
grounding systems in amps and preamps.The lighter gauges can't compete with super-expensive,
audio-engineered stuff-- but what the heck-- in a budget
system, it could outperform any cheap copper in spades.Would it outperform GOOD copper, such as Cardas?
That's very doubtful, but it can be tried in certain
applications-- see what happens-- why not?One thing is sure-- it's in mass production, and would
cost a lot more if it wasn't paid for out of industrial
and military money.I would say experiment with it, what have you to lose?
