ok so i just bought some new crane firewire plug wires for my truck. They said that they have 25 Ohms resistance per foot but i measured them with my ohm meter and im seeing 350. what gives? do they messure them a different way or something?

 

I would contact Crane.

 

does your meter read zero when you touch the leads together?

 

How are you reading them exactly?

 

lol ive got a degree in electrical engineering. Im reading one end to the other. I think crane is full of crap saying they get 25 Ohms per foot.

 

every one reads 1000 exactly? how high does the meter go? most go to 1000...check ur meter... thats fregin terrible, using tin foil would be better than fregin 1000 ohms of resistance, dang lol

 

no no, im seeing 350 Ohms of resistance in each wire. Each one is different, between 320-400. I just cant believe they are marketing this as a 25 Ohm wire. Thats just plain wrong.

 

i found out what happend. Stupid summit was false advertising, they had bad information.

 

25 ohms per inch?

 

per foot...ever buy performance wires...?
