HaMSaMMiCH Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I made a display for my old bay that had Rockford wire vs. "their" wire Rockford 4awg>Rockford 8awg>USA Link 4 gauge Power>Rockford 16awg speaker wire>USA Link 8 gauge power Quote CAUTION! POOR INSTALLATION MAY SHORT BOTH YOUR SYSTEM AND WALLET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaf Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 only ac travels on the skin of the conductor, aka skin effect wiki: skin effect is the tendency of an alternating electric current (AC) to distribute itself within a conductor so that the current density near the surface of the conductor is greater than that at its core. That is, the electric current tends to flow at the "skin" of the conductor. The skin effect causes the effective resistance of the conductor to increase with the frequency of the current. Skin effect is due to eddy currents set up by the AC current. so for ac current more small strands are better for more surface area for dc current, the most cross-sectional area is best... some companies use 36g, some 32g and the amount of twists will also change the cross-sectional area ull be fine w/4g and that amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
