![]() It's "OFC" (oxygen-free copper) which is tinned and very flexible. I was going to use the old 6 gauge wire that was on my factory amps to run to my amps (one 800W RMS and one 500W RMS) and then run the 4 gauge I got last year (for running one amp to the battery) between my battery and a bus bar I got (includes a 200A ANL fuse), but that 6 gauge wire has some corrosion on the copper terminals and I REALLY LIKE the 4 gauge I have so I think I'm just going to run it between the bus bar and both amps. I'm working on an amp board and I'm trying to keep the cabling minimal and clean. ![]() Definitely not worth it for me to spend any more on a nicer one though (or probably even $40 on this one with a coupon). I've read some reviews on that crimper and they're surprisingly positive. I hear WM should have a large crimper and could do it for me, but I was kind of thinking of picking up Harbor Freight's hydrolic crimper so I can do it myself and get the cables to the exact lengths I want before doing so. I'd just get the 5/16ths ones and drill them out if they're too small, but that would defeat the purpose of tinned lugs.Īlso, if anyone has advice or anything on crimping these things I'd be happy to hear it. ![]() I know some manufacturers use a 3/8" positive post and a 5/16" negative, but I also found someone mentioning their interstate battery using two 5/16's when I googled it. Does anyone know what size threaded posts Interstate uses on the SRM-29 (I'm sure the Pro-ECL is the same)? I forgot to check and I'm planning to go to West Marine after work to pick up some Ancor battery cable lugs (way overpriced there it seems but I can't find tinned copper ones anywhere else). ![]() I picked up a group 29 Interstate battery on Monday - decided to go with the (new?) "Pro-ECL" version that supposedly gives you more cycling. ![]()
