BigJohnny Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Why would it be only structural? the cable is actually very flexible. And for those thinking I got hugely ripped off, lets take a look. I was looking at some stinger 1/0 on HifiSoundconnection and buying 15 feet of it would cost me $57.60 USD, and $24.64 shipping with UPS. $82.24 USD for 15' of cable..... why so much? I always like to have extra.... never hurts. Thats $101.89 CAD for the wire. so $6.79 per foot now. Add UPS brokerage fees of about $40 ($141.89) and it works out to $9.43 per foot. Thats still better than the $12 per foot locally for 1/0 cable, but still way off the original purchase price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHFHades Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 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. I'd have got the welding cable, just as good as audio cable, and it's usually more flexible...I love my tristar cable...thanks to Shayne Quote 1990 Jeep Cherokee 4X4 Pioneer DEH-P2900MP, Big 3 done in 1/0, 1 run 1/0 ran to amp DAT HF1000.1 #007 powering a DC lvl4 15 DAT HR 4085 prototype powering 2 Selenium 6s and 2 no name tweeters running active 1st place in AS3 @ Surf City Sound Off, 140.8 @ 45hz @ the headrest. rebuild coming soon to get a better score "I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail.

BigJohnny Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I'm still considering that. and I probably will, but I want some nice sleeving to protect it as well as make it look a little nicer. I'm trying to dress up my engine bay over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it in black and it won't look at all out of place. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually want it to stand out a but, Like using red wire for the positive, or a nice red sleeve.... as long as the wire is protected from grease and shit.
