[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 414919, member: 550915"] It's a mag field actually and I am fully aware that it is there. Noise induced in an AC circuit must come from a fluctuating mag field. A high power AC transmission cable could do that if it were close enough to your RCAs but a DC power cable with its pretty much constant mag field is not going to do a thing. I have heard of problems with people getting noise from their exciter box from a high power ignition coil but that is pulsating DC which is basically AC.No, rubber is an insulator and has zero effect on a mag field.The number of strands only affects the flexibility of the wire I'm not willing to pay $1 a foot more for wire that is just ashade more flexible. All power wire that I have seen/used is OFC copper regardless of price. It is the best conductor for the money. The Silicone jacket is only there to protect from shorts, it provides no "shielding" in an electrical sense other than shielding from shorts. Different companies use different compounds for flexibility and chem/heat resistance reasons.If you stack the grounds of your two amps the ground potential between them will be basically zero. You then only have to worry about the difference between the HU/processors and the amps and not between the amps themselves.I've zip-tied power and RCA cable together; no noise.For the transmission of DC, OFC wire is OFC wire is OFC wire. If you want to pay several dollars a foot for Stinger Expert I'm not going to tell you don't do it, it's your money after all, but if you want to buy $1 a foot 1/0 OFC welding cable I would say that you are smarter with your money and you will not see a difference in performance from the wire and the guy who bought the cheap wire will have another $100 or so to spend on better speakers.If you indeed do it right, knowing how it will work, you won't have unexplainable problems. Any problems that you do have can be fairly quickly resolved by eliminating all the things you did right to begin with and at that point will usually end up being a faulty component rather than wiring.
