kalilac619 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Posted May 3, 2013 im trying to decide if theres any real gain or if its worth the extra $70 to go with copper inputs over aluminum.anybody have an idea or actual results between the 2? amp is a DC 7.5k if that matters ...thanks in advance 2000 Suburban 6 runs of 2/0 12 JBL Pro audo mids ,6 timpano audio tweets and 1 Prv compression horn per door 475ah of yin long LTOs Triple 370 Amp Autotech Alts mids amps 2 Crescendo Skyway 3ks compreesion horn amp crossfire 800.4 Tweet amp Crossfire 2000.4 sub amp: 4 Crossfire XT 8ks Subs: 8 18 in Crossfires in a 4th order Best Scores at events… 163.5@38hz DBdrag sealed on the dash… 164.3 outlaw…162.9 Meca headrest
Carbon Posted May 3, 2013 Report Posted May 3, 2013 I went with aluminum. I know Snowdrifter is running Copper ones. Im running 4 of them on a 5.0k
kalilac619 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Posted May 3, 2013 power wire from the rear batts to amp will be about 2-3ft long if that also helps 2000 Suburban 6 runs of 2/0 12 JBL Pro audo mids ,6 timpano audio tweets and 1 Prv compression horn per door 475ah of yin long LTOs Triple 370 Amp Autotech Alts mids amps 2 Crescendo Skyway 3ks compreesion horn amp crossfire 800.4 Tweet amp Crossfire 2000.4 sub amp: 4 Crossfire XT 8ks Subs: 8 18 in Crossfires in a 4th order Best Scores at events… 163.5@38hz DBdrag sealed on the dash… 164.3 outlaw…162.9 Meca headrest

Im running 4 of them on a 5.0k thats what im thinking of going with since i know i can spend the $70 else where,just wanted to know if there was any real benefit.i know in long power wire runs its different but how much resistance could there be in a big chunk of aluminum vs copper? 2000 Suburban 6 runs of 2/0 12 JBL Pro audo mids ,6 timpano audio tweets and 1 Prv compression horn per door 475ah of yin long LTOs Triple 370 Amp Autotech Alts mids amps 2 Crescendo Skyway 3ks compreesion horn amp crossfire 800.4 Tweet amp Crossfire 2000.4 sub amp: 4 Crossfire XT 8ks Subs: 8 18 in Crossfires in a 4th order Best Scores at events… 163.5@38hz DBdrag sealed on the dash… 164.3 outlaw…162.9 Meca headrest

This might help you man They are relatively close.
SnowDrifter Posted May 3, 2013 Report Posted May 3, 2013 I got copper. Because YOLO Lol but actually... It's more conductive. And aluminum and copper react in a process called galvanic corrosion. If there is any moisture - the two metals will corrode themselves ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
