[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8728843, member: 614752"] Failure at connection points and even wire breaking inside the insulation. Aluminum just isn't as malleable as copper so if it's subject to moving it will fail after far fewer bends/flexes and I've seen some awful stuff happening where it goes into distro blocks. Could just be anecdotal and other factors that caused the failures but again, your cable should out-last every other piece of equipment you're buying so why cheap out? If you absolutely must use it, be sure that every part of your run is very secure and won't move around anywhere and keep an eye on terminals, distro blocks, and fuse holders. [/QUOTE]
