Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 Even OFC will do this. Marine wire is tinned to prevent this. This is also why adhesive lined heat shrink should be used on terminals under hood and under car. Maybe you could contact the seller and let them know that this is unacceptable and give them the opportunity to make it right.I have copper wires that are at least a decade old with no signs of any corrosion, all metals will oxidize yes but this is not what that is.By the way oxidation on real copper is conductive and doesn't harm the wire in any way. 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.
Bayuk89 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Posted March 31, 2016 Yes i will bring it up to the ebay seller. Its not their fault, it was factory heat shrink wraped on a spool. If they feel we cant reach a resolution its what ever, im not get bent out of shape for $13 even tho i hate wasting money. I was gonna buy some SHCA or knukonceptz wire but decided against those. Atlease im getting some learning experience from this. This is one of the reasons i dont like buying online.

They're talking about water intrusion, which is a different problem all together, and something that needs to be looked into further as they have water pooling there for long periods of time. Now i have had a plug on my motorcycle that got corrosion so bad i had to cut the plug and splices the wires together with some sealing shrink tubing. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
ShadeTreeMechanic Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 Oxidation is oxidation and no matter what caused it, when it develops between the conductor and the connection you will have trouble. When the conductor is oxidized, it will find its way to the connection. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon)

When the conductor is oxidized, it will find its way to the connection. It shouldn't exist on brand new wire at all. The problem with oxidation is it shrinks the surface area of the wire and the worse it gets the less conductivity it will have even if the terminations are in perfect condition.
