Review on 🔌 GS Power 10 Gauge CCA Automotive Wire: 100ft Red & 100ft Black for Car Audio, Amplifiers, Model Trains, and Drone Wiring by Pedro Curtis

The name and description are somewhat misleading at best, but are misleading in describing the wire. The wire is actually 12 AWG, not 10 AWG as advertised, it measures approximately 2mm as advertised; wire size 12awg. The wire needs to be about 2.6mm thick to be 10 AWG wire. This is of great importance when calculating the voltage and/or current drop. The insulation is flexible, it feels like silicone, but it's stiff and thick, the OD and markings make the wire look like 10 AWG wire; Again, the dimensions are 12awg! Also remember that this is NOT copper wire, it is aluminum wire with a copper sheath. For those who don't know, the copper jacket is essentially a plating, in this case a copper clad aluminum wire. It DOES NOT SOLDER well, you must make the pins/connections with properly sized compression joints. When choosing the current, be especially careful that you must treat it like aluminum wire as it is all aluminum and only copper plated. Copper wire has a much higher current carrying capacity than aluminum wire. By the way, in case it isn't obvious, copper wire tends to cost a little more than aluminum wire, mostly because raw copper costs a little more than raw aluminum!
