jojo42 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 When using bolts instead of terminals, stainless steel thread would probably be best, but since I cannot find any at my local Home Depot or Lowes, would the stainless steel zinc coated ones suffice just the same?

01 S-10 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 Lowes should have the brass bolts which would probably be better. Someone correct me if i'm wrong but i'm almost positive brass is a better conductor. Quote TDH FTW !!!
kmalinich Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 well.. ideally.. you'd have threaded copper posts... lol Quote
jojo42 Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Posted March 9, 2010 So would the Zinc plated stainless steel ones work tho? Quote 2012 Ford Ranger: Build comming soon! Kenwood DNX-6160 DC 175.4 2 sets of O2 AR63 3-way Comps

sqsux Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 Thank you No problem, and since you said its only zinc coated I think you go by steel's conductivity, idk how that works. Quote Start out boxy, shape as you move along. Dc Audio Team Fur

Prolly has something to do with acidity, since its a denser/heavier metal it doesn't get eaten away that easily? idk i'm horrible with science. Quote Start out boxy, shape as you move along.

fritosaregood Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 Prolly has something to do with acidity, since its a denser/heavier metal it doesn't get eaten away that easily? idk i'm horrible with science. its not a very reactive metal. Gold is the least reactive, lead is right next to it on the periodic table, so i has close to the same properties. i wonder which is cheaper. and even thought copper and silver are better conductors.. they have a bad oxidizing problem. It weird how im almost failing chemistry but i remember this stuff.
