Running low amp level signal through an audio snake?

this is a :cop: , but I thought I may be able to get away with it in my situation. I'm doing sound and mic work for a wedding reception in a barn. I don't think I will go over 10 watts each side for the speakers. do you think that at that low of a level it is alright to run it through a snake? it is today at 2:00 and it would be nice to be in the back of the room.

No. Even 10w is at least 10 times what the cable was intended to handle.

It also cuts off the high end due to capacitance.
