New Knuconceptz Kandy Kable. Look cool but....

[mlcantin 32]

I really like the look of the newly released Kandy Kable but the thing that is dissapointing. CCA wire . 90% aluminum 10% copper. Turned me away automatically

If it's being used as it's intended for, why does the fact it's CCA matter?  At least they're not trying to sell it for the same ratings and it's really the size they say it is instead of half the other companies that sell wire out there.

CCA is horrible

How do you figure it's "horrible"? I use some cca and never once had a problem with it.

About 80% of all my wiring is CCA and I have over 22,000w of power in the car.

No you are all wrong

This will be interesting-

 

Tell us why we are wrong?

 

I stated i have over 22,000w of power in my car.

I have 4 5500ds, a Lanzar 1,500w amp and a Lanzar 200w amp.

That's over 22,000w of power.

 

I also stated about 80% of my wire is CCA.

 

I have 4 5500ds, each has 2 sets of power and ground.

Single CCA is ran from ALL 4 outputs from EACH amp to a custom block,.

Then, from the custom block, DUAL CCA from EACH SINGLE CABLE is then ran to it's own designated battery.

 

So that's 12 CCA cables per 5500d = 48 runs for just those 4 amps.

All 12 of my batts are paralleled together.  About 60% of all the wiring to do so is CCA.

 

I have a custom High Amperage block under my wall capable of handling up to 500A of continuous current.

 

It's ran with dual CCA power and dual CCA ground.

 

I have a HO alt under the hood.

It's ran via dual CCA power separately fused and then ran to front battery.

The HO alt is also grounded with 1 OFC cable, but the grounding point is dispersed with CCA to two different locations.

 

The only cables in the car considered power and ground that's not CCA is the master dual power and single ground run from front to rear, some paralleling battery cables and a couple fuse blocks.

 

So, I do not see how you can prove me wrong.

 

I built it, i designed it, i created it, i visioned it, i am the ONLY one who can troubleshoot it and i am the only one who knows how to work on it.

No

Copper has one of the highest electrical conductivity rates amongst metals.

The negligibly higher resistance from the aluminum tho just depends on the application, most people wont see the difference other than in their pocket.

 

1-4. - Comparative Characteristics of Copper and Aluminum
 

CHARACTERISTICS COPPER ALUMINUM

Tensile strength (lb/in²).                               55,000                 25,000

Tensile strength for same conductivity (lb) . 55,000                40,000

Weight for same conductivity (lb).                 100                    48

Cross section for same conductivity (C.M.). 100                    160

Specific resistance (W/mil ft).                        10.6                   17

 

I mean why buy shoes from Payless when i got enough money to buy Jordans

 

 

thank u goodnight
