About the same as taking off a tire and wrapping the bare rim with a garden hose.

That is very thin wire for a car audio speaker wire application.
With each strand being 24 awg even using two wires for every (+) and (-) (four wires per speaker) you’d effectively have 21 gauge wire. That’s not even adequate for 50w worth of power.
i prefer doorbell wire myself….
