Hello,

Has anyone used Stinger Pro Series 4 Gauge Translucent Red Power Wire and Stinger Pro Series 4 Gauge Translucent Black Power Wire (grounds) ?

I am thinking on getting it for a Big 3 upgraded on my car which has always had the factory wire and it's been there for 12 + years and I recently had some floding where I live and I just recently fixed the engine part, replaced the battery, will replace the alternator, probably with a more output one, since my car is a Toyota Corolla 99' and it comes with a small alternator, which got damaged anyway. So I wanted to see what was the feedback on Stinger Electronics brand power and ground wire, for a big 3 upgrade. I am also thinking on getting a pair of Pico 0809PT 3-Way Top Post Battery Terminals, so if anyone knows anything on this brand Pico, it's a canadian brand of < size=5 face="">automotive aftermarket < size=5 face="">wire and terminal products, and according to their website https://www.picocanada.com/en/main.php, they have over 40 years experience in supplying this stuff.

So any opinions, I will highly appreciate it.

Thanks a lot !

Why translucent?
Won't it break down faster than common solid insulation?
I note it is only rated for 60°C which IMO is not very hot for a vehicle - especially the engine bay.

Besides, I'm sure there would be cheaper cables of equal if not superior rating....
(Where was that stuff others on the12volt recommended? Probably in the Shop somewhere....)

if its in your engine bay use welding wire. the stuff they use for the leads and grounds on a stick welding machine. it has good insulation comparable strand count and its made to carry massive loads of power, work in high heat environments and so on. i wanna say its slightly cheaper. just do a search for arc welder repair and you should find it eventually.
