BigJohnny Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) I was at a local surplus store, and picked up some Bass Warrior 4 AWG cable to use for my battery>starter upgrade. This stuff was like $3.49/ft. which seemed like a huge ripoff, but I bought it anyway. Its got braided wire running down the center, then the insulation, then another layer of braided wire, and another layer of insulation. Whats the reason for this? Can't find shit out about the company, probably out of business or something considering the product is at a surplus store. EDIT i just looked at the cable again, its actually bass warriAr found this link. which is almost not helpful at all except that it seems to be an asian brand, and the amps logo is the same as the writing on the wire. http://translate.google.ca/translate?hl=en...GL_enCA280CA280 Edited April 22, 2009 by BigJohnny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raytard Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 you can buy like name brand 0g with that and personally ive never heard of it, and cant think for a reason for it to have two layers, sure you didnt buy like coax cable or anything?

BigJohnny Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) No offense but you got screwed. why would you pay so much for 4awg? Ya....... Ya I know..... but in my defense, that is Canadian pricing. When you see $3/ft for larger cable, it ends up costing a hell of a lot more when you factor in shipping cost/weight, conversion rates, and if its UPS, their extra brokerage fee when it shows up at the door. when all is said and done, it ends up costing more like $15/ft by the time it gets to my door. 1/0 wire here is about $9/ft. at any place I can actually find it. still, why is it double wire? no it isn't coax. its all stranded wire, and alot of strands too. the inner core is 4g, actually slightly larger than the rest of the 4g there, then it just has that extra wire/insulation layer. is it some kind of shielding?

BigJohnny Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I'll get some pics later today, but I also noticed that its Bass WarriAr, not Warrior. Seems to be some Chinese brand. they make amps and speakers too but you can only find the shit on Chinese sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJohnny Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 SORRY, FORGOT PICS, BUT I'LL DO IT TODAY, i PROMISE. sry for caps too. Also, I called a local auto sound place today, and discovered that 1/0 is no cheaper than $12/ft unless I use welding cable..... then it's $3.49. So I didn't get as ripped off as everyone thinks I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
