Is this wiring ok for amps?

[Wickedcummins]

Speaker wire, like any other linear electrical component, has three properties which determine its performance: resistance, capacitance, and inductance. A theoretically perfect wire has no resistance, capacitance, or inductance. The shorter a wire, the closer it comes to this, because resistance increases with the length of the conductor (except superconductors). The wire's resistance has the greatest effect on its performance. The capacitance and inductance of the wire has less effect because they are insignificant relative to the capacitance and inductance of the loudspeaker. Larger conductors (smaller wire gauge) have less resistance but increased skin effect. As long as speaker wire resistance is kept to less than 5% of the speaker's impedance, the conductor will be adequate

Resistance is by far the most important specification of speaker wire. Low-resistance speaker wire allows more of the amplifier's power to energize the loudspeaker's voice coil. The shorter the cable and the greater the conductor's cross-sectional area, the lower its resistance. Depending on the hearing ability of the listener, this resistance begins to have an audible effect when the resistance exceeds 5% of the speaker's impedance.

A speaker wire’s impedance takes into account the wire’s resistance, the wire’s path (coiled wire acts as an inductor), and the dielectric properties of local insulators. The latter two factors also determine the wire's frequency response. The lower the impedance of the speaker, the greater a significance the speaker wire's resistance will have.

That is not true that larger cable has less resistance. And we are not talking about dead headings the fuel lines or cables. We are talking about flowing usuabel engery and or flowing fuel!

Yes less resistance = higher current flow but larger cable does not mean lower resistance

As stated, when comparing cable of the same construction, just different gauge, yes, the larger will have a lower resistance p/ft then the smaller.

And soon Graphene....the ultimate super conductor at room temperature achieves 100 times the conductivity of Silicon and about 35 percent less than the resistivity of copper.

Agree

[philwsailz]

Yes less resistance = higher current flow but larger cable does not mean lower resistance

Why?

If you are talking about making large cables out of ground pencil innards, I agree, but we are talking copper wire here.

Given similar or even close quality of copper, larger cable DOES mean lower resistance.

I'm trying to avoid a big argument here,

[Wickedcummins]

No arguments lol... And comparing same wire it does mean less resistance. I was simple stating bigger is not always better alot of things come into play. But I have seen larger wire that does have higher resitance than smaller wire.

My 00 wire got no resistance,....... especially around 2:30am
