0 Gauge 3/0 1/0 Ect Whats The Difference?

[kingsuv]

But is the 0/2, 0/4 example 2 awt and 4 awt, not 2 or 4 guage? How exactally will it display guage and awt? Sorry just confuseing to me. Could use the help.

Here is 4G next 4/0G

4/0 = 0000G

Here is 1/0 or 0G next to 4/0

i guess I created a helpful thread lol.

and wow, those wires are big difference.

also, good idea to just get a full roll of 25 ft, rather than two 10 so I don't have to piece em together I didn't think about it.

I found this on ebay =)

that's a hell of a deal

what's the difference between 1/0 and AWG 1/0?

Well i know size matters, but what about strand count?

It is possible for a lower gauge wire with higher strand count to be more conductive then a bigger gauge wire with low strand count?

Strand count is important. The problem is, too many people make up shit to make their wire sound better then others. It might be a higher count but it might be a smaller strand.

It's best IMO to look outside car audio wiring and look into industrial applications.

It would suck to pay a large amound of money for wire to get mostly jacket

Right,

I hear alot about welding cable.

With the price of copper car audio companies are using tinned copper or aluminum for power wire as well as lower strand / smaller strand counts to save money.

Which screws us when it comes to quality...

RockFord Fosgate says that they use less jacket and more copper. They show comparisons to other brand of wire and speaker wire all that time at best buy and etc.

A lot of people don't know or don't care. They think it's all the same.
