kingsuv Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 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 Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twigz Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 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.

DWeezy3one3 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 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? 95 Subaru Legacy Kenwood 915 Streetwires 1/0ga Monster Rca's.

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 Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

kingsuv Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 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. Designing, building, and shipping boxes.
