Why skimp on wire. Spend acouple extra dollars and get tinned OFC so it won't corrod.

Agreed. No reason to not go with OFC.

I wish I would've got ofc but I was young and eager and excited to be buying audio gear ended up getting 150 ft of CCA and its still bnib on the spools. Wish I wouldve bought skyhigh or welding cable or maybe some of that explosive audio wire that stuff looks nice

Skyhigh^ I see this all the time with their wire.. U can cut 2ft off and the wire is still all corroded up farther too

 

[BassAndBeer]

why sky high? stay away from that wire. go knu or xs, anything but shca

How many runs of CCA for 8k daily until I can get some ofc? Massive you run welding cable don't you?

Welding wire is cheap. 2/0 for like $1.66-$1.88 a ft. Can't beat it. Just buy good wire the first time so you don't have to replace it

And people be like that only happens if the wire is exposed to moisture... Well duh what do you think happens in your trunk? Or in your truck. The weather changes all the time and it gets humid and damp and there's going to be moisture. Just buy good wire from the get go so you don't have that problem

x2 with welding wire. I live in Miami where the humidity can reach more than 60% on hot days, and my 6 month old welding wire still looks brand new.

welding wire, i have some tspec it's really nice but expensive

well we're talking about speaker wire, doesn't really matter tbh. just use a larger gauge cca than you would ofc. if you're running a bunch of speakers pro audio at a low load on a big *** amp amp then you should start considering the necessity of ofc for speaker wire

Massive where did you order it from and how much would 200 ft cost me?
