4 gauge battery wire for amp?

Does anyone know if you can use 4 gauge battery wire instead of 4 gauge power wire to hook up an amp? I know the strands of wire are thicker in the battery wire, does that matter? thanks

wire is all generally the same, the only difference is the housing, and size

Higher strand count allows for more current to pass. Will you notice it, who knows:dunno:

Youll find that using "battery" wire will be painful to work with compared to wire that is meant for snaking through a car. It is just much less flexible and soft.
