[QUOTE="fasfocus00, post: 7353989, member: 576857"] silver is ~$40 per ounce of silver, that would be over $100 for about a 40ft run of 14 gauge speaker wire. it would be well over $500 for a single run of 4 gauge from battery to amp. to add on top of that silver is not a pliable or malleable than copper. cutting 16 gauge speaker wire made of just silver would be difficult with cable cutters. there is just no real feasible reason to use silver considering that it does not conduct that much better than OFC to justify the cost. copper is barely $4 per ounce. the cost does not justify the results that's also why gold is not used on exhaust manifolds (except for the McLaren F1 and space exploration). this is also the same reason why sound deadening companies use aluminum foil instead of copper foil, if Dynamat used copper foil instead of aluminum foil it would deaden ~3x's better than aluminum. if you know the length you can usually find pure silver speaker wire at high end home theater shops, that are pre-cut and terminated.
