Did you pick them up already lol.

Yeappp

Great! Yea, don't touch them...tooo late lol.

[MENTION=113]Jbrew[/MENTION] When it comes to wiring I use a solid stranded copper audio amp wiring. Its heat resistant, has a very high corrosion resistance due the amount of silicone used in the insulation.

Yea, read good things about silicone. That all I remember currently. Think I'm nurturing a fricken assist inside my skull with this delema. Somethings pulsating in there. Anyway,turns out my tinned cast copper terminal cancellations are fine, - doesn't make a bit of difference being tinned. But mann, there's so many debates about tinned cable vs unplatted copper it's crazy...crazy. From what I'm understanding 12 volt DC current is low frequency current. Therefore current flows more thru the cable core vs the outside skin (they call it skin lol). That said, I think your right since the cable I have has multiple tinned cores, BUT the cable I have is OFC and rated for more amps than welding cable. It's also 1/0 cable that measures out to larger than 4/0 dimensions. I have a feeling that's suppose to make up for something. So crap, I'll let the swelling go down, then go over the silicon stuff again.

Thanks for bringing that up. Should be a simple answer for all this crap, I'm not finding it.

Dont touch them? i thought yall recomended the ford gaskets

Jbrew

I meant try to keep them clean.

The higher the strand count the better the conductivity is. Regardless if its tinned or not. I use silver/tin solder. I'm using 2/0 that has 6230 strands. It copper core with a tinned skin. Its rated for over 480 amps current draw. Conductivity is more crucial when talking Voltage. Not so much amperage.

Look at it like a water hose. Amperage=pressure Voltage=flow.

I would have to disagree with that on some accounts.
