AA98hoe Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 theres a conductivity chart floating around...i used stainless also but thats worse than brass...anything with corrosion resistence is also bad for electrical conductivity TEAM DC AUDIO VEHICLE:98 chevy tahoe 2wd 3-4 drop HEADUNIT:alpine 9886 PREAMP:arcaudio FRONT STAGE:4-6 1/2s selinium,DD component set and 4-selinium tweeters in each door KICKPANELS:jl audio 5 1/4 REAR DOORS: dd components 6 1/2s HIGHS AMPS:zapco 750.2 on front doors,zapco an another 750.2 on kicks and rear doors SUBS:4-ascendant audio 18s with 5 spiders in a custom box built by KINGSUV SUB AMP: 2-dc7.5s ALTERNATORS: 3-mechmans 1- 425comp, 1-smd spec350, 1-270 with adj voltage harness on custom dc bracket WIRE:10-runs 0g front to back BATTERIES:6-d1400s TL results:157.1 at 38hz and 156.8 at headrest score @37hz.

purplesyrup Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 they wont even be seen, do you think corrosion could happen in a way that it would eventually disrupt the connection? after seeing the conductivity chart, copper it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesyrup Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 that didn't work, tried to paste it. here is the list, solid silver is #1, Copper #2 http://www.tibtech.c...onductivity.php Brass is 1/4 the conductivity as copper.... Thats like putting brembo brakes on your speaker wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesyrup Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 the wires are direct connect to the sub, and surely not long enough to go to the amp, I guess I could crimp some more wire on, but I was trying to keep everything looking clean while remaining the most conductive i've got to go drop some vino off so i'll hit up ACE while im out, see whats available and snap some pics w pricing, if I find what I need i'll pick it up today.
