ROLEXrifleman Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 just curious what the max current SHCA rates their 18 gauge primary wire at. Thanks Quote Rolex you sicken me. Just let me finish my pie ~ Juice

Krakin Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 depends on length and if it's AC or DC. Quote Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.
ROLEXrifleman Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) you know its a 12 volt dc application at most 20 foot run. You can always check the American standards chart but I wanna see what shca says Edited January 26, 2015 by ROLEXrifleman Quote Rolex you sicken me. Just let me finish my pie ~ Juice
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 What are you using it for that you're worried about it? Or do you just want to know? Quote That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
Krakin Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 18 gauge for the power? Not Speaker?

ROLEXrifleman Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Posted January 26, 2015 I just wanna know. I'm using it for remote turn on, to feed a vdo volt gauge and maybe power up some led's worst case spark up a 369.2. So I'm not gonna be pulling more than 3-4 amps Quote Rolex you sicken me.

SnowDrifter Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 AWG chart states 18a for OFC, however as I understand it it's CCA wire. And those charts are rated thermally and do not take into account voltage drop and length of wire Assuming true 18ga wire, you will be able to run 5a through it without incurring more than a 1v drop over your 10ft run Quote ~~~~~~~~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
