fritosaregood Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Im looking at gettin more 0 gauge wire and was looking into stinger. Its says the wire is "tinned". Is that better or worse than using wire that is just copper?

banginAltima Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) Tinned just means the copper is coated which is perfectly fine. Troy is refering to CCA wire ( copper clad aluminum.)<<< not sure if I spelled it right. CCA wire can't carry a lot of current.

fritosaregood Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 ok, wat does the coating help on? oxidation? is that wat happens to copper. ive got wire from ebay before, it was superfat wire, says its all copper and 4100 or 4400 strand count i think Quote seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
