Ryan929 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 *Not a Vs. thread* Which would be more power efficient being as there is only a couple dollar difference in price? 1/0 OFC: http://audiotechnix....-ofc-power-wire OR 2/0 welding cable: http://www.temcoindu...le/WC0026.html# I was planning on upgrading and just wondering which would be better, and obviously the welding cable is bigger but the 1/0 is oxygen free so i wasnt sure. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundstream15 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I have 2/0 welding cable for my big 3 and it works just fine, idk if there is a difference but welding cable will handle heat better so that's why I used it for the big 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranny Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 well how much current are you going to be passing through said cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan929 Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 well how much current are you going to be passing through said cable? My system is 14.4 volts and it would be run to my amp which is about 2000rms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socky Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 if it was me, it would be 2/0, my bro just got some that 1/0 and its tiny looking compared to the welding cable 1/9, but it has more stands.

Kranny Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 voltage doesn't matter when choosing power wire. you need to know the CURRENT DRAW in AMPS. no, not an amplifier. an amp. its the unit of measurement for current. unless you're running over like 300amps, then stick with 1/0.
