Steve, I am almost positive I have asked this before so I apologize in advance, but is the audio grade wire good for doing a battery relocation? I know it sounds dumb but I swear that I read at least a couple times that you don't want to use the car audio power wire for the main power wires in your car. And at this point I don't even really know why lol. I seem to remember something about how the individual strands in the wire were too thin - as in it couldn't carry the current as well as thicker strands.. even though there are more of the thinner stands which makes it more flexible and all that. I think I might be crazy I dunno.. yeah most likely crazy
Anyhoo the reason I am asking is because I realized that before I do anything else to my car (fog install, auto to manual swap, etc.) I want to get a sealed battery and relocate it to the trunk. Mostly because I have a bunch of re-routing and rewiring to do any way, and my clever ass ran a lot of wires through my clutch plate
Also my current battery has like 5 cold cranking amps and it sucks lol. Therefore I'm prolly gonna need some of this sweet kid wire you keep bragging about... and a header yeeeah....

you answered your own question there buddy. The audio grade wire, has too thin of strands to transmit the power from the alternator safely. It may not ever catch fire, but the possibility exists. Picture the electricity like water and it will make more sense.

Damn, so I am not crazy! I was starting to get pretty confused because I was hearing otherwise (the wire thing, not the crazy part lol). So a heavy gauge power wire from Lowes or something would be a good choice then? Comment

Sweet Triple Post! Merged
Word! Lets do it!Originally posted by Cb_JoeyG View PostI want some! Lets upgrade my shit steve!
You can use car audio power wire. Its fine for your car as long as it's 4 gauge or bigger. That's what they use from the factory it's just a different tubeing. The best stuff to use is welding wire tho and its cheaper then 0gauge audio wire.Sadly car audio wire is a upgrade from OEM wire. It has more strands Carrys more current and isn't 20+ years old..... I recommended welding wire tho because its peer copper so it carrys electricity better. Car audio wire sometimes substatues aluminum for copper it carrys electricity the same its aOriginally posted by RUGER 2.2L View Post
.1 volt difference however it also heats up that's where the caching fire comes into play. So don't use cheap car audio wire with aluminum and you'll be fine....
Oh yah so no one asks more strands = more flexability not more power so you need more strands to make thicker wire to = a thick copper stand...that's why car good car audio wire is thick.... just a fyi
