Just wondering if you advise using welding cables instead of 0/1 gauge car audio wires. I know i can that a lot cheaper than the car audio 0 gauge. would it work just as good?
Check the resistance, if better than reg cable go for it. Is it flexable enough to route through a car and is it corrosion resistant?
they are corrosion resistant. I even think they are more durable than car audio 0 gauge cuz they are made to take a beating at shops.
u def need to check resistance because if i remember correct welding cable has really thick strands which (the way i understand) has more resistance. and the durableness may be a problem because that may make it very stiff and hard to route unless u r going in a straight line.
I just heard that a lot of guys on ICIX are using welding cables without any problems. It cost like $8 per foot for 0/1 ga car audio wire here. That's just too expensive for me.
welding cable will work great, you wont notice any difference in sound anyway, welding cable has just as many if not more strands that audio cable, it has to to be as flexible as it is, we we just got new leads on our welder at work a couple of months ago that are 2/0 and there more limp than that kicker "hyperflex" or whatever ****, i say go for it!
Thanks Gohilla, I may give it a shot. I found out that the cables are only 2 bucks a meter. I have to check it out though, they did say it was 0ga.
welding cable is just as good as car audio cables if not better tha a lot 0/1 cables out there they ussually have high strand count, pure copper etc...i would say go for it if u get a good deal.
well that's now 3 people saying i should do it. I'm going to take a look at the cables tomorrow, if they look good then i'll buy them. thanks
