I dont see why not, would be a little worried about corrosion, but polish it up real good, make up all your terminals, and spray with a corrosion resistant (like for your battery posts) think aluminum would do better as far as resisting corrosion, but if you have a good deal on copper...... 06 2500hd, 6.0L, 4l80e, 4wd, (muah work truck) 7" BDS HC lift kit (5) 37x13.5R18 Toyo Open Country M/Ts (5) 18x10 Moto Metal MO962 tablet in lieu of deck blue tooth interconnect to soundstream eq (for volume control and bass control) 4 Alpine type r 10's 6 cubes net, 80sqin's port, tuned to 33hz 2 brutus brx5000.5's 2 pairs 3" polk audio for a pillars 4 pairs polk audio 6.5 comps 1 pair 8" polk audio for mids 2 xspower d3400 batteries.....learning alot from meade and his circle of some of the baddest installers ive seen- thanks guys, for not being so cocky and posting the way it should be done!P.S.

Pioneer~Saturn Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 Lol, mine are as well. And yes, it's there to help protect from corrosion. But I would still coat them in some kind of connection protectant after you mount all of your mounting points to it.
