I a word yes, just check current handling. 2Core flex is often used on cars for lights etc, I seem to recall the factory fitted spots on the Audi is 2 core mains wire.

Hi colin/anybody


do you calculate the cable size for d.c the same as a.c  eg 500w devided by 230v=2.2 amp so for d.c it would be 500w devided by 12v= 41.5 amps

 yes/no
