Sky high car audio 2/0 ofc vs welding cable 4/0 ofc 

Now this is how a comparison video should be made. No bias, no trying to convince the viewers to buy one product or another, no skewed measurements. You simply provided the data, shared your opinion, and let the viewers decide for themselves. Great job!

Cool video all ur doing is keeping it real so i wanna thank you for helping people out that don't have the money to over pay but even if i did why should i or anyone 👍🏼👍🏼my friend (✌🏼💪🏼🔈💪🏼🔉💪🏼🔊)

Thx for the video, I'm trying to save some money on my projects

I run TEMco brand, its the cheapest OFC i can find and i like it better than Windy Nation and some other weld cable I've came across. I happen to be a welder by trade so ive been around alot of weld wire. TEMco is guaranteed for life! Its also nice and flexible. I messaged sky high about some heat shrink and i asked for adhesive lined shrink tube and they told me "we dont carry that". Thats laughable to me that a company that makes wire doesnt have real heat shrink with adhesive inside to keep water and the elements out, that's like 101 stuff. Ill stick to my TEMco brand weld/battery cable.

I still like sky high for a lot of stuff but I was disappointed when I got my 1/0 skyhigh and the first thing I immediately noticed was the way the jacket is constructed with those channels I can't think of any other purpose for that design other than to make the cable look bigger than it really is not only can I not think of a reason why that would improve ment but I imagine having that little bit of airspace within those channels of the jacket invite all types of opportunity for contaminants to get inside the wire corrosion to occur

Now thats how a comparison should be like! Not biased, just straight, pure facts shown and not a single cut throughout the video (even when the battery be like "Ey yo! I'm outa here, boiii!" xD) #LetsGetNasty

Awesome vid , I'll roll with royal excelene all day pure copper cheaper price ,holds heat and more durable. For me i dont care much about the thick jacket that's more for an impress look. I go with whats inside and current hold.

I think welding wire is an excellence choice for car audio it might be harder the cut and prepare the wire but you will have a peace of mind that the wire can handle abuse and higher temperature than the fancy candy red "boutique sky higher ones"

Ur a BEAST brotha im so glad you made this video just to show all those shit talkers what's up thank you OMG i get so much drama over using different types of WIRE again 💯 awesome video u st8 pulled many peoples cards (✌🏼💪🏼🔈💪🏼🔉💪🏼🔊)

That Royal is a great cable......cars when manufactured are not designed for high powered audio systems...so we modify and incorporate a lot of additional components to achieve high spl...this includes using high quality cables that are capable of industrial grade characteristics yielding high current transfers, so If a company decides to manufacture car audio power cables, all well and good but the fact still remains that installers and audio fanatics alike will have to source high quality cables.....the fact that the the welding leads manufacturer will say that their product were not designed for car audio still remains but car audio is modification and the choices are not mandatory that we use car audio cables...the terminology of supply and demand comes into play....high amperage heavy duty cables to withstand heat, abrasion and corrosion is a must and if one can source the same item at a cheaper rate so be it...in Trinidad the cost of a high quality 0 gauge cable is the same as welding 4/0 cable...now that's piece of mind.

fyi viewers, 2/0 SHCA IS damn close to being 4/0 AWG guys! prolly is 4/0! good vid which is gonna confuse a lot of sheep who are used to being swayed one way or another =x

So sky high wire at half the rating is equal to double the awg welding cable.

wait till yall find out about lithium prices 😬

So basically what you are really saying is that sky high car audio 2/0 ofc is the same exact size as the welding 4/0 ofc wire so technically that jst puts sky high for the win onl difference is that the jacket is thicker but yet still flexible

But why would you swap it out, if the Sky High is OFC than why change it to welding cable which the quality of the copper being 99% pure is not the manufactures concern.

But where did you get the acetylene wire from????

so is welding cable just as good of a connection for car audio use, or is better, or worse?

What are you saying exactly? Are you saying that sky high has thicker insulation more then southwire? Are you saying that southwire and sky high have the same thickness of copper inside the insulation? Even though it reads one has more copper then the other? Are you saying that it’s less money to buy southwire? (Well that is what you said on the price)

Too bad these prices don't exist anymore lol lol. 4/0 ofc welding cable was so cheap back then!

Comparing apples to oranges 🤔😂

Wait. So sky high is oversized then. Because why is a 4/0 cable about the same as 4/0

How is it in terms of flexibility? Around the same?

I'd like it if someone would test amperage limitations of both. thx 4 vid.

So what are you going to gain

So....what exactly is the problem here? If the wire on the 4/0 welding cable is the same size as the 2/0 from the sky high, then what is the issue?

Got it so yeah. Confused. Your comparing what exactly. There’s no doubt that car audio wire is more flexible and has a higher strand count. The reason in jacket diameter is do to the different environments the wires are in. Of course the jacket is going to be bigger it’s inside engine bays, under, and inside a vehicle. Car audio wire can also withstand a higher amp draw compared to welding cable so again the jacket is going to be thicker you said something about them selling oversized but yet it is oversized compared to the normal us standard and before you go off if did actually compare it to 4/0 car audio wire the thread count and diameter of the wire would be significantly larger than that if your 4/0 welding cable. I mean there’s reasons to this stuff. Big current = big wire just saying so think we will stick with the higher strand count 🤷‍♂️

i wish this 4/0 was still that cheap lol

I was told there's no such thing as 100% OFC welding cable, therefore I stick with 100% OFC silver tinned oversized wire.. (SHCA, D4S, Cert Basshd, XS-Pwr, etc.. not welding cable. Thx 4 vid!

So your comparing SH 2/0 to 4/0 welding cable?!?! I run both welding cable and Sundown and both are awesome!! Compare 2/0 with 2/0!!!

You are looking for cable better than sky high when your system is easily handled by the sky high cable, dude you need to get your priorities in order and quit worrying about things that will not make a difference

Just to throw this out there if sky high had or has 4/0 it would be compared to 6/0 or 8/0 reason its called over sized 2/0 because it is bigger and has more strands of wire in it then welding cable also someone said that current runs on the outside of the strands your absolutely correct on that the more strands the more current

Damn that sky high is 2/0 and the same wire size as a 4/0 I’d rather have the sky high

Just so u know, southwire royal excelene is not ofc and will oxidize and turn dark.. shy high will not because it's ofc.. to be ofc it requires an extra smelting process.. that's why welding wire is cheaper.. I actually run tinned ofc, I paid the extra to know my wire will last my lifetime... everyone think welding wire is superior to ofc audio wire and it's actually not.. you get what you pay for with anything car audio related.. if you actually think welding wire is ofc, call and ask.. or just do sum research it 100% not ofc unless it says it on the jacket..nobody would false advertise and write ofc if it wasn't.. and if it is ofc you bet your ass it would say it on every jacket, because that's the #1 selling point..

What's with EVERYONE wearing shower shoes all the time? Have some class and cover up those nasty feet.

used skyhigh once and never bought it again all hype

Welding cable is same price as skyhigh now with the plandemic, with that ill stick to skyhigh

Bro, you are silly...... 4/0 wire is suppose to be bigger than 2/0. If you want to see true 4/0 wire visit steve meade’s channel, he will show you true 4/0 wire. Its is about a inch in diameter.

That is 100% not ofc
