does it matter what the wires are made from? i have silver and copper speaker wire, does it matter which type i use?
Actually you don't see aluminum used very often anymore, we've gone to essentially copper solely, as it passes more current, is more durable, and seems to be cheaper these days with the prices of aluminum climbing lately...Originally posted by geonn ok then what about aluminum or copper one of them carry power better cuz i know you can get aluminum wire from electrcians
No.... silver is the better conductor.... copper is cheaper.. Silver corrodes, but silver oxide is still a conductor, so you actually don't have to worry about it too much...Originally posted by kookysmonsta Well In sound quality it dosent matter, Copper will corroud easier than silver, just keep your wires dry and copper will be as good as silver or even platnum. But copper is the better conductor.
