Hey guys I am getting things together to do "The Big Three" but I have a few questions about the power cable I have and what I can get.

First, I have about 22 ft of 4 gauge Kolossus Kable from KnuKonceptz. It is "tinned copper". They say:

"Kolossus Kable 4AWG Blue Power Wire features 2058 Tinned Strands of Pure Oxygen Free Copper."


What exactly is the difference between Tinned copper and just regular copper? Does it make a difference?

I have all of the 4 gauge gold plated ring terminals and anl fuse holder , i am just wondering how good this power cable would be for this application....and how good it would be for powering a sub amp if i used it as my main power wire to the trunk also.

Any opinions or information would be greatly appreciated!

 

It is very good power cable.
"Tinned strands" means the copper strands are coated with a thin layer of tin, this helps prevent corrosion, as even "pure oxygen free copper" will oxidize, it also makes soldering a lot easier and uniform. 94

Thanks for the reply. Along with the help you(fcm) gave me with soldering terminals, all of the grounds were a breeze to do....i hated that time i had to pay $30 for a shop to solder my ring terminals! I couldnt believe that. I should have asked how much it would be before having them do that. also i didnt think of using a torch to solder the terminals that time

Thanks again!

 

Not as a reply to the question, but...

You'll be happy with the KnuKonceptz 4 gauge flex cable. I used it for my big 3. :-)
