Cadence wire

[>>SQL<< 10+ year member]

One amp is only using about 300W RMS and the sub amp Im about to get will be pulling 1500W RMS.
That block is "(2) 1/0 GAUGE IN, (6) 8 GAUGE OUT".. looking for one along the lines of (1) 1/0 gauge in, (2) 4 gauge out"

Tsunamis stuff is good, thats what block I have now.

I am using this one.

it has

1 - 1/0 gauge

2 - 4 gauge

3 - 8 gauge

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

Thanks to the OP for this. Just snagged a spool for myself even though I really have no need for it. One of those deals thats too good to pass up.I'll add my 2 cents on this wire when it shows up.

i orderd

125ft of 14awg

20ft of 4awg

17ft of 0awg

ill be getting my 0awg on tuesday im verry pleased with the 14 and 4 cant wait to get this monster 0awg

CADENCE!!!

OFC is overhyped, imo. You can do 2-3 runs of this wire for the same price as most OFC and get an extra 200A of current flow

yeah but ofc wont lead to carbon tracking like my cca did.... dont get me wrong i love cadence i used it on the big 3.... ill never go back to cca after using 2/0 ofc tho

Looks nice. But I will stick to Knu guess i am just brand loyal when it comes to my wires.

Carbon tracking? I sure hope you're not buying into mis-information. Carbon track, commonly found in spark plug wires and magneto blocks, will take years to occur in CCA wire where the wire is optimal for the current being drawn.. Not to mention Carbon track is only caused by tiny arcs. These tiny arcs have a temperature around 1000 degrees Celsius and so cause intense heating of the insulation surface on a micro area basis sufficient to pyrolyse (chemically decompose by the action of heat) any organic polymer, so if that has/is happening to you then your wire is obviously completely melted.. It is more likely to corrode before it CT's and thats only if the ends are exposed to the elements. World record vehicles use CCA even.

Whats your opinion on solid aluminum busbars? Not like they make copper clad busbars.

oh and heres some pice of 1/0 Kicker hyperflex next to 1/0 Cadence super-flex

im not mis informed. it happened to me. with the permission of cadence sounds i would more than gladly post pics.

So the Cadance 1/0 is CCA?

yep...

 

[LosIsATool 5,000+ posts]

yep...

thought so.. thanks

Yeah but it uses a higher amount of copper than most CCA wire does, so it's like a halfway point. Personally, all I've ever used was 1/0 CCA and I've never had issues with it.

here is what happened to me. they were soldered stiff in those terminals.

I have.. **** falls apart.

you can see above why im not a fan of cca period...used the same exact points for the big threee but this time used ofc...no problems
