[QUOTE="c-ground, post: 977585, member: 11426"] zen is right..and wrong. Those selling in jalan pasar is 5 or 6 gauge. But definitely not real 4awg. [B]You can see it from the size and thickness of the lugs used[/B]. [COLOR=Red][B]The attachment below might help in differentiating the cables. Red one is the real 4awg cable that we [U]used[/U] to have,[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue][B]the blue one is the Jalan Pasar stuff.[/B][/COLOR] Anyway, lets do some costing for a DIY project. [B]Materials:[/B] 1] real 4awg cable (such as what we use), if you can find it, costs about RM18/m... a typical setup (take Wira as example), needs about 4m OR MORE. Minimum cost = RM72 2] good quality 4awg tin-plated copper lug (such as what we use), if you can find it, costs about RM1 each in small quantity. A 6-cable kit needs 12 lugs. Minumum cost = RM12 3] Heat shrink, 13mm, about RM3/m. You have to buy at least 1m. Cost = RM3. 4] Solder wire. 60/40 compound, 1.2mm thickness. You need about 4m to solder 12 lugs. But no one sells 4m. So got to get a roll, cost = RM10 (estimated) Total cost = [B]RM85 Tools:[/B] 5] instead of soldering, you can crimp the lugs. A good crimp tool for 4awg size costs about RM90 - RM120. 6] solder iron, 100W. Price varies from RM15 (made in china) to RM80. 7] etc etc etc that you can imagine.. Everything can be cheaper if you buy in bulk. [/QUOTE]
