n8ball2013 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 I use pure copper rods for all my Wiring Serious question requires serious reply. well what did you contribute to this thread? think of it this way. What place would buss bars have in car audio if stranded wire was better.

WillPwn4Food Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) So pure copper rods are better than OFC stranded wire? Of the same diameter, of course.

Autruche Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 How is the power transfer even halfway decent on that? Why would that effect power transfer? If using solid wire wasn't as good as using wire with multiple strands then no one would use buss bars on there battery bank, but instead be just running wires in between them. It all comes down to ease of use. You could either spend hours trying to get solid copper 1/0 to bend through all of the complex curves that you will find in you car, or you can slip your easily maneuverable 3500+ strand count OFC 1/0 around where it needs to go in 20 minutes. What seems more realistic for your daily, music oriented system? Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

WillPwn4Food Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Don't get me wrong, not trying to be a douche, I've just always been.... How to word this... Always been taught/raised that higher quality stranded wire was better than low-stranded wire.

MrSkippyJ Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 More strands equals more flexibility, that is all. When dealing with DC the number of strands doesn't really matter.

WillPwn4Food Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Same apply for speaker wire? or just power/ground?

What seems more realistic for your daily, music oriented system? im not tryin to argue but i thought ppl just got the buss bars for ease of use. and alot of ppl do used wires between the batts with no buss bars. like i said not tryin to fight just here to learn Quote
MrSkippyJ Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Same. Speakers run on A/C so the skin effect can come into play but that is usually not a concern in car audio.
