sourcing wire for your radio

yup,, your mistaken.  this is by wheelhouse.

Table 310.16 or 310.17 NEC , take your pick even at 75degC.

no company in thier right mind would ever manufacture a wire for a certain voltage.

The higher the voltage the smaller the wire can be.
walk ouside and take a look at the top tier of the telephone poles... thats the "high" line,, lucky if its even 1/0 alumninm.

the wire is 0-2000v standard issue.,, across the board for anything we do from your microwave, printer, soldering iron, lamp, lights in the house ect.

low voltage such as telecom facilities running -48v plants is where you gotta start compensating for no greater than 2v loss across the loop.

so in a nutshell, the wires in any car old or new offer a solution to color coding in a wide array of color combos.

Copper is copper,, ,, circular millimeters of copper has no care in the world what the voltage is.
