[QUOTE="RCobra07, post: 4474611, member: 588244"] Here is an article on conductivity of the two metals, [URL="http://www.tpub.com/neets/book4/11e.htm"]http://www.tpub.com/neets/book4/11e.htm[/URL] . Knokonceptz says it is good for up to 250A, which is short of the 300A+ on the full copper, so I am assuming the loss is attributed to the 90% aluminum substitute. The length of the cable plays heavily into its' capacities as well from what I remember when I use to be into car audio quite a bit, however, I did not see any charts on their site to discuss length; in their defense, I did not look very hard either though, lol. I think it would work fine for the Big 3 so long as you are not running much larger wire elsewhere...kind of the weakest link in a chain theory. Also, the lengths for the Big 3 are typically much shorter then a battery to rear of car run. Someone feel free to correct me if I mis-spoke:laugh: [/QUOTE]
