Chiney, what the hell you complaining about you get it when it was cheaper, priced to kill now, and you see unlike the other one, no sign of oxidation.

another thing, thats silver strands versus copper or something else?

cause with silver you will get better current transfer right?

from left- diesel audio,GSI,stinger
all are "4awg"

diesel next to stinger.

the stinger was almost twice as thick as the diesel, the 4 awg diesel was more like 8 awg.
an well the 8 awg was like 12awg.

sorry for the bad pics.
and i cudnt cut the insulation.

an yes chiney audiopipe for ground, i had it so i wasnt gonna throw it away

look at that difference..

Chiney, i got a piece of Audiopipe 0gauge.. i'll take some comparative pics of it against Stinger's 0gauge.. that should make you a believer.. Mr. Green

demboyzaudio · Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2008 10:17 pm Post subject:

btw i did not take pics of the 8awg.
its a wonder y they use so much insulation.

3stagevtec · Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2008 10:38 pm Post subject:

i gotta say that was a good post.. people does laugh at audiopipe wire, but look at that diesel audio wire nah... ridiculous!
