Copper wire?

[kraudio12 10+ year member]

I was wondering

i am about to do the big three and i was wondering instead of using 0g normal power wire

If instead i used 6g copper wire, for one i know copper wire is more conductive and i would think to be better.

Reason for using copper is i am getting it for free and was wondering the pros and cons to using copper wire over normal stinger power wire

big 3 should always be done in copper... and 6 ga would have benefits over stock 8 g wire. if its free go for it wont hurt. and what do you mean by normal wire? shouldnt normal wire be copper? what kind of amps you using?

1/0 caraudio wire > 6 gauge "copper" wire

That 'normal power' wire is copper wire. The 6 gauge you're talking about is nothing unique, it's just typical copper wire, also.
