Is the stock wiring copper or aluminum?

 

[GhostRam94]

not a clue lmao... why you ask??

 

[bloombloom88]

When I rewired my explorer I just went to RadioShack and got some cheap 18 gauge wire. Don't know if it was copper or aluminum

 

[bigtigga84]

Copper is a better conductor. cleaner signal

 

[GhostRam94]

ok now im getting somewhere... so 16 ga copper and about 50ft should do right??

 

[bloombloom88]

I did a 50ft roll and I had some left over

 

[bigtigga84]

I would think so

 

[GhostRam94]

ok.... 16 ga 50 ft copper is what its gonna be... how do you get it through the door though???

 

[bloombloom88]

Take off the kick panel and there should be a hole where you can feed the wire through the rubber tube and into the door
