Can this 18AWG be used for car 12V electrical wiring?

BEST ANSWER: I suppose it could but it would not be my first choice. The wire in the 12 and 14 AWG (have not purchased the 18 AWG) is of good quality but I am a little underwhelmed on the outer sleeve. It is a bit thin and might not hold up to chafing, abrasion, etc. in a moving automobile. Fine for residential walls but that is a docile environment compared to an automotive application. I would try to find something with a thicker outer insulation just in case you encounter any sharp sheetmetal edges etc. while routing your wire.

Car 12V electrical wiring has different amperage requirements, hence the wide array of fuses and circuit breakers. As long as the particular amperage requirements are met by this 18AWG wire for your application, the answer is yes. You can look up amperage versus wire gauge on the web. You'll have to know the amperage draw of the circuit you are wiring.

I don't see why not if the current is compatible, but best to run that question by a qualified mechanic first before making any changes to your vehicle.

No, not safely. It should only be used as intended, for speaker wiring. Make sure its routed properly and protected from chafing.

You might find it a bit to thick for that. I bought some for my av receiver and could not get it to fit any of the connections.

Not according to Internet query. Not designed to handle automotive environment of heat, vibration and chemicals

Are you serious? If you don’t know let a professional do your wiring. Just saying!

Good cable, best service.
Good cable, no issue there. However, there were problems with the experience overall. It took two weeks to deliver the cable. Also, minutes after purchasing this cable I saw that monoprice had a promotion for 100ft at half the price. I emailed support asking if I could change my order; no one replied to me.

Using it for led lighting application. Can be used in walls because of outer shield. Already installed and works great. It was a great price. Definitely would recommend.

smaller than i thought
I intended to use this for my fronts and center.each being 8 ft runs.so works fine for that.I took rubbing alcohol to get the print off it.haven't yet but will install along white baseboard and be invisible.yes using it outside of wall.I think you also may want bigger if u use outside of wall cause bigger can be bent around more.being moved with you n all.I will get the same but 14g for surrounds next.
PROS: price and durability, it's white!
CONS: smaller than i thought.
