I have everything I need except speaker wire and RCA lines. I'm leaning towards 12 AWG for speakers and Stinger 4000 series rca. Reading up on this stuff, I'm trying to decide if buying the oxygen free copper is worth the extra $20-$40 in total. I've read it's a much better conductor and would produce less resistance. I need to check my power lines too to make sure it's not the bad stuff and maybe replace it with OFC if so. Is this a sales scheme for the car audio market or is it legit? I watched a video that showed an amp putting out 300 less watts using the crap stuff vs OFC. |
TBH if it were me I would just wire the 2 ends in the middle of a line, and electrical tape over the entire inductor (coil) making a little lump. then zip tie that or tape it to the side of something.
