[QUOTE="shizzzon, post: 7448800, member: 590338"] Do not get so critical over silver vs copper. 90% of all installs use copper. Who honestly wastes their time with silver. Are you competing for the World title? And pure copper power\ground wire by itself isn't wise either. If it's not tinned, you need to prevent pure copper from oxidizing. This is a longterm wire-saver technique and normal daily drivers "may" not need to do this. Typical good car audio power wire comes tinned so no worries. CCA wire is of lower conductivity so be careful on assuming it's current capability.. It's not that much of a difference but one shouldn't blame CCA for a fire or burnt connections when typically, CCA is only ~40-60A less conductive than pure copper. Getting that close to constant current draw, user needs to step up the wire gauge rather than debating on what material it's made out of. [/QUOTE]
