Dear Icer ,

Would like to get recommendation on powering up a 1000w 4
Channel amp using flexible copper cable .
The reason why, current audio cable (red jacket) that been selling outside has very poor pvc jacket and I found my previous 8awg wire pvc jacket tend to harden and crack under the hood engine heat .
I notice welding copper cable provide better insulation and a quick google search found many foreign website recommend using welding copper cable (flexible type) but I’m not sure how efficient it would be .


1 / would it be sufficient provide better current flow to the amp on 5 meter length cable ?

2/ should I be consider getting higher amp rating means more good ?

3/ what’s the min awg /amp I can use for at least .

Additional question

1/ OFC vs CCA , should I worry about 2 type material ?

Thanks
