i numbered them for easy reply.
1. to you it may look like ***. but the difference is a flat\solid blue, versus what? a clear looking blue with a logo printed on it that costs the extra $.75 per foot? packaging\marketing costs i see. im not willing to pay for that. and in my install, you wont be able to see the wire regardless, so looks is utterly pointless.
2. made for it? were humans made to fly to the moon? were automobiles invented to go around a track at 240mph 500 times? was nuclear power invented for a weapon? i mean come on dude. just because somthing is "said" to be meant for a certain criteria\application, does not mean that if its not used in that marketed application, its wrong or unsafe.
3. in your case? maybe welding cable is a LITTLE more expensive. big deal. for the rest of humanity, its not. so get off your high horse and accept it.
4. thats right, pure speculation. because the protective coating on "car audio" and "welding" wire is made of freaking plastic. to market the "car audio" version to be cooler, they made it all clear and cool looking. how special.
obviously guy. your "reasons" are utter bullshit, crocked out of your *** to put your PERSONAL OPPINION over facts already proven. your OPPINION is that you can get QUOTE*car audio cable*/QUOTE for cheaper than QUOTE*welding cable*/QUOTE.
as far as ghetto? if we used like four seperate strands of 8awg for a 2awg wire and taped them together, thats ghetto. or used single-strand "high amperage" wire that is extremly unflexible and all the interior panels didnt fit back on correctly.
you just are biased to your own oppinion and refuse to accept that there are practical applications for "welding cable" in car audio use.
accept it. and stop being a stubborn pile of garbage spreading misconceptions.
