[QUOTE="los33, post: 8301276, member: 660834"] Not true.. I am a cnc machinist and create my own buss bars and sometimes terminals. Aluminum is used alot mainly because it is very cheap. Then you have other metals like kennametal, p-110, j-55, etc.. Then you got straight silver and gold which is all more expensive metal material. Also not to forget aluminum can easily be ruined faster then anyother metal since it is much softer. So yes you can use anything that is considered metal and non of them will do better as conductive wise as they will all allow the same current flow the same. For [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=2"]#2[/URL] question there are many companies who make those terminals, but not all will be made by the known audio companies as 4/0 is not a highly used size since its expensive and sometimes are to find unless you look at electrical stores.
