Copper Wire
It is in fact no need to explain of all the metals used throughout the world copper wire comes on the top. It contains a lot of features and its use in the life of modern people is very significant. It has a major role in the arena of electrical segment where it is used in numerous ways. It is a very good conductor of electricity so its primary use is in manufacturing wire. Although other materials can also be used for manufacturing purposes but the most preferred one is copper.
Copper wires are available in both insulated and non insulated forms as depending on the requirements and the form of copper wire (ground wire) that has no insulation and protection is known as bare copper wire. Bare copper wire is used as a base of cables and wire and thus it plays a major role in cable industries. It is usually available in smaller AWG sizes because it facilitates more flexibility when bending around corners is performed. But when it comes to the demand of maximum flexibility then tinsel wire is undoubtedly comes first due to its ability of resistance to failures. It is mainly found in cords used for telephones and it is made by wrapping several strands of thin copper foil around a textile core. Flexibility increases as a result of thinness of the foil.
Most of the users consider only flexible wires as the best ones but sometimes stiffness is also required when there is a consideration of sending a long wire through conduit. Another form of ground wire is THHN when outdoor wiring is required and it is used in insulated form to protect against climate conditions like moisture. Another type is braided copper wire which is used in electric appliances, electric stove and storage battery.
Coating of tin on copper wire is performed when it is used in heaters and high temperature instruments. A step by step process is used for this process. First electrolytic process occurs in which material passes through the chemical tank and by using electric current on the tin slab the process comes to completion. The second process is hot dip process in which the tin slab is melted into an electric pot and the material that is going to be made passed through it.
Recycling of copper wire is also in use today and people are continuously growing their business with the recycling of this important material. Because of the wide use of copper wiring in electrical and automobile segments it is very easy to utilize the copper wire when there is no longer any requirement of copper wire in the equipments.
One thing should be kept in mind before buying the copper wire that it must purchased from a reputed company in the market as there is a wide range of manufactures and exporters available. It provides reliability of the product with an appropriate usage of your money. It is a metal that is worth of its cost always so consideration of buying the best must be kept in mind.

Doing the big 3 upgrade with 2 awg wire?
Ok, I've beein reading things and learning about this and I am almost ready to doit soon. I was wondering since I am about to buy 0 gauge tsunami amp kit for my system if I could use some of my old jl audio power wire (2 awg) for the big 3 upgrade? I have like one long strand of it and was just planing on using that wire in all the places that needs to be upgraded. or do I need to buy 0 gague for the big 3 upgrade too, since the amp kit will be 0 awg.
Also I'm getting a tsunami 5 farad cap for my system, does anyone think this will stop my dimming lights and voltage problem? I phoned autozone for the specs on my alt and he said that my stock alt puts out 120 amps.
My system is a jl audio 1000/1 amp and a 13 w7. car is a 2004 so maybe newer models have stronger alts?
why cant my stock alt run my other electronics with that?
If you are planning on adding the 2 gauge wire to the stock wiring then that is fine. Those two wires should approximately equal a 0 gauge wire. You would typically want the wire gauge to be as thick or thicker then the wire you are using for your amp.
Are you just using the 1000/1 amp? If so then you don't need to go as big as 0 gauge. It wouldn't hurt but it would be a waste of money. 2 gauge is fine for 1000w RMS.
The big 3 will help your voltage problems a little bit but if you are running that much power then there is no way around upgrading your alternator.
To show you why...
1000w RMS output / 0.8 (80% efficient amp (class D)) = 1250w RMS input.
1250w / 14.4V (running voltage of car) = 87A
What that means is that it would take 87A just to run your system at 1000w RMS. That does not include what your car needs for it's regular electrical demands. Now your amp is not going to be running at 1000w RMS all the time so your system would only demand that much power for short periods of time.
You may be able to get away with that alternator but you probably won't. If you are already having voltage/headlight dimming issues then you are probably not going to be able to get away without upgrading your alternator.
A cap is not going to fix your headlight dimming or voltage issues. A cap will help to "stiffen" the voltage. Basically, a cap will act like a shock absorber for the voltage, like a shock absorber in your car will work for your suspension. The shock absorber will keep the voltage to your amp from jumping around suddenly. It will smooth out the fluctuations of the voltage. If your voltage is low a cap will not raise it or fix it at all.
First get the big 3 upgrade done and see if that helps you. I would save the money on the cap and get a high output alternator instead.
Good Luck!!!
