installers after sanding down the ground location on the engine chassis what do yal use to cover the the area to prevent rusting etc that wil hold up to the heat of the engine?

the terminal lug or terminal ring or whatever u are using to secure the ground wire for that matter.....not like yur sanding the whole car. lol

there are a few products you can use, the easiest to get is lithium spray grease. and yes shaks, if the spot you grind off isnt protected, it will rust.

KnuKonceptz has the most amt of strands i've seen, 0/1 ,5145 strands

SR · Posted: Thu Oct 26, 2006 8:02 am Post subject:

everybody who boasts about more strands etc

nobody does tell yuh bout the cost

lets see

audio pipe 0 gauge probably has the same strands as say a stinger high end 4 gauge or even less

i use Jl audio 2 gauge and it has more strands than most of the 0gauge on the market presently and is more flexible and easier to work with than the others
however the cost is probably almost twice as the 0 gauge

ShaKarz · Posted: Thu Oct 26, 2006 8:16 am Post subject:

right so diff brands have diff # of strands for the same class of wire s0 is more strands better or can that be a bad thing sometimes - im thinking good > more juice...

JL n KnuKonceptz have over 5000 strands but the price... so for best price/strand ratio i say stinger Embarassed

SR · Posted: Thu Oct 26, 2006 8:59 am Post subject:

scosche efx also had a good line but i dont think electromania brings it any more

its easy to tell

just look at the thichness of the wire inside the insulation and check the flexibility of the cable
the more flexible it is most of the time the more strands the cable has

I've seen 4awg audiopipe same size as stinger and efx 8 awg Confused

Big 3 with 4g or 0g wire ? ...

was discussing this & wanted to get more views

would it be a credible difference using 0g instead of 4g wire to do big 3 ???

is 0g overkill because d distance is only about 4ft from alt to batt or will depnd on how powerful ur amps are ??? ........ Confused

i have to just replace the engine grounds and that's it Very Happy
