hispls Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I think it has been proven that many of the "copper" wire brands that can afford to seemingly give away huge over-sized gauge wire actually use inferior alloy. Not knocking anything, just saying, there's no such thing as a free lunch. My gut tells me that unless you're buying into "premium" name brand cable you get what you pay for in conductivity one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berto Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 You do realize you left the company labeling visible on the 1/0.....right?? Nice work so far. i know hahaha. I find it funny how people try to do the same thing and keep the other company nameless but we all know who's it is. I did it as a joke lol. And thanks Oh ok. Haha. I thought you really wanted to keep it nameless. But oh well. Haha TEAM FLEX ISSUES Car: 1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royal 24" Rims HU: 7" Carputer, Planet Audio EQ, iPhone.

Man i dont even care what brand it is to be honest, I do like quality stuff but you usually pay a pretty penny for things that work decent. I dont think this wire is really 4/0 like some say cause i brought it to some real 4/0, it was smaller. As for the alloy part, i think its around 90's percent copper. Its pretty hard to get a pure metal but im okay with that. 100% pure copper with no impurities would be incredibly costly so i would do like 10 runs of aluminum lol.

Phaeton Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I did a stuff and thing today. marked out my port and i forgot to take a picture when i cut it cause i am super smart. I also changed out the upper rad hose cause it had a huge hole in it, so to make sure the new one was doing a good job we went for a cruse and seen some guy breaking into a pharmacy. So we called the cops and it turns out he works there. So i guess its a good idea to wear all black cloths and hood up, pry open the sliding auto doors at 10:30 at night and just bolt inside. So that was cool i guess. 1997 subaru legacy outback Four 15's in a almost wall Rockford Fosgate t2500-1bdcp Rockford Fosgate T400-4 on tweets Rockford Fosgate T400-4 on highs Rockford Fosgate T400-2 on midrange Rockford Fosgate T400-2 on midbass Optima Yellow top batteries 270A Singer alt (working on a bracket for a second) Lots of Second Skin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
