navinji,
i gave a thought to your above mentioned advice. although, it is a really good suggestion to avoid wastage, i dont want to double it up cause it is a thick wire(16mm^2) and it will be a pain to pass it through the firewall. also it would be a little more difficult to snake it around inside.
it cant be installed in the bottom plastic trim near the doors(im not too sure) as the plastic trim will get loose with time and come off becuse ill have to force it to lock in place(the trim doesnt have screws, it has a threaded kind of plastic screw type lock).

Though Navin sir has allready pointed out that you can put your existing 16mm sq to good use by doing a DOUBLE run
If you compare the core wire thickness of the industrial stuff to the fancy power cables in accessory shops you will be There's hardly any strands of copper in the supposed 4ga of the run of the mill china maal. |
hi, souljah
the idea is great but a little difficult for me to implement for the reasons i stated above.
i compared my L&T 16mm^2 and an L&T 8 gauge to the BOSS's 8 gauge cable(Buy our shi##y stuff, another name after gunman's buy our stupid sh#* lol), i couldn't stop laughing. hahahaha its a shame on our part(to buy the crappy Chinese stuff) and on our governments part to allow these sub standard cables etc to land on our shores.
they should do something to curb this menace.
ill say it again...its better to buy industrial wires instead of the bad Chinese and fake jbls etc. but Chinese wire are still cheaper than the equivalent gauge good Indian wires so people buy the boss cables without really investigating the facts(quality issues).
lastly, my question regarding the dimming lights still are unanswered. why did the dimming of lights got reduced by 90% ? whats the reason behind this?
the smaller gauge cable is getting less current than a heavier gauge wire so how will make a difference?
does this mean that the smaller gauge wire takes more current than the heavier gauge wire due to the resistance? (current converting into heat due to resistance in the wire? )
please clarify my doubt. navinji, samji, lbm, gunman, B&T.
navinji ive bought L&T's 25mm^2 multi strand cable today and im going to install it rightnow. lets see what the end result is. i hope it makes a difference otherwise my 1.5k will be wasted. lol
thanks for the advice
cheers
