Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Post Number: 6895 Registered: Feb-06 | thats is so cool they started usign the kicker material so is like the kickerflex but with steroids... in real life you dont need that much flex the regular klm cable is well worth the price and is a hard product to pass by |

Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Post Number: 6896 Registered: Feb-06 | the klm the max that can take is 250 amps the kolozzuz can take 300 amps for like 2 dollars more a foot juzz for 50 amps is not worth it |

Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Post Number: 6897 Registered: Feb-06 | dude copper and aluminum is not abig of a diference the klm is copper mixed with aluminum aluminum is not bad copper is weaker but better for current flow but is not much of a diference but still aluminum is stronger and will last longer.. juzz like copper and aluminum coils is proven that aluminum coils is louder than cooper |
Gold Member Username: FrkkevinResonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 3662 Registered: Nov-05 | eh.. but aluminum begins to melt at almost have the temperature of copper.. so if your running a large current draw and your wiring is getting hot.. aluminum ftl again of course if you use proper wire size you should be fine either way.. but lets say solid copper wire vs solid aluminum... copper ftw unless it oxidizes, which well aluminum can do too |
Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 2899 Registered: Dec-06 | LOL Lil Rob, I love it when you pretend to know something about a given subject. First of all how do you know aluminum is "stronger and will last longer"? The answer is you don't -- you just guessed. Those of us with an actual education in audio and physics know that copper has over twice the tensile (and overall) strength of aluminum. This is very important when the load is high enough to cause what are called "fault currents" which will cause aluminum to fail much sooner than copper. Second, aluminum has roughly 60% of the conductivity of copper. Hardly "not abig difference". A copper/aluminum alloy which you mentioned is a different story altogether. Let me enlighten your single-digit IQ azz. The reason aluminum is used in transformer coils and heavy gauge speaker wire is this: the substantially lower weight and cost allow a much larger gauge to be used, thus eliminating or at least closing the gap in the performance/strength ratio. The bottom line here is that if this wire is in fact "tinned", which can mean a variety of materials used to plate the aluminum, the metal(s) that are used in the plating are FAR more important than the metal that forms the core. Silver-plated wire will substantiate this fact. For the big words: http://dictionary.reference.com/ |

Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Post Number: 6898 Registered: Feb-06 | brad dont get me start on this man with your copy and paste shyt from winkipedia man... it is a fact aluminum coils are louder because they are lighter but on copper coils tend to have more power handling thats why there aare mixed thoughs on the coils... check alan dante man he suses aluminum coils man.. but then he wants to achive alil more output and give more pwoer so i heard hes switching to copper. the melting point of the aluminum is much lower than copper. but if you check the winding width and impedance is alil bit larger than copper, but most of the time the major improvents are on the motor itself and especially the magnetic field is one of the most important things for a coil a tight gap is not a such factor but is somewhat usefull ;) i did not said aluminum is stronger is louder it doesnt handle too much power like the copper its melting point is lower than copper.. and brand suck my d1ck old man |
