This is DC we are talking about. Any GOOD, WELL SHEATHED, cable of adequate gauge will work fine. Conectors, crimping, distribution block and wiring topology will make more of a difference than cable brands at this level.
Now stop worrying. |
navinji, im not at all worried about my choice. i just cant believe i was using the boss cable(it so thin even compare to 8 gauge good quality wire) the boss cables IMO will be good to wire subwoofers lol).
BTW have you heard a company named Ascon? it manufactures terminals etc. im using their terminals for my power cables. the terminal is made of copper with some silver color coating. i could see the copper after scraping off the silver thing. just wanted to ask if they are all right for the job? also rightnow my speaker wires dont have terminals. im planning to install terminals on them. any suggestions, do's and dont's etc?

I can assure you, clipto, that if you change only the power cable from L&T to any brand POWER CABLE, JBL, Monster, Audison, Tsunami,l Scosche which is also 4 gauge (25 sq mm) You will see ZERO change in performance.
I would not however claim the same thing on RCA and speaker wires.
Tool and LBM need more cross sectional diameter than you, for their power cable. Because of their higher current draw. Add another 10 sqmm of cross sectional area and you have 2 gauge. Enough for their applications. LBM has taken it safer and gone thicker than that. |
hi,
yes sam bhai, im really happy with the performance of the cables and i think ive made the best choice i could in my budget. like i said in another thread the major problem i was facing was of dimming of lights with bass notes. now after changing the cable(from boss to 16 mm^2 l&t and from 16 to 25mm^2) there has been a tremendous improvement. the problem is negligible now. now im thinkng of upgrading the big 3. what wire size would be optimal? and if could put my 16mm^2 wire in use that would be great(like running it twice).
also please suggest what i should do regarding the rca cables. buying a good quality cable like audison etc would be too easy a job. i would like to diy the cable with good wires and connectors. any suggestions?
i think this is not the appropriate thread for my above queries, so point me in the right direction mods. thanks
cheers
