Right on. Home audio cables are not designed to withstand the elements and the automotive environment like car audio specific cables are. over the years we have used all kinds of cables in cars and I can honestly say, some of the most exotic, expensive home audio cables dont fare well in the car. I have experienced first hand, issues with (even expensive) home speaker cables losing insulation and shorting. Stick to car audio cables for more reasons than one.
