Umm... They make theirs with copper, so yes...

If you're referring to their wiring harnesses, I've never had any troubles with them.

I have tested different wires, from RF and stinger to the local welding shop brand and there has been no difference. Almost all is over 99.5% copper, so unless you want a higher strand count for more flexibility, there is not much difference is wire quality between the brands.

Scosche makes a good product for a suprisingly cheap price ...

Never had a single problem with them ... Well, except the ghetto RCAs that come with the 4 gauge kit at Wal-Mart ... Even so, can't beat that kit pricewise for small vehicles, even if you have to buy new RCAs ...

They should be pretty close to the same. There is a point where higher strand count will not make any difference in flexibility, and both wires should be fairly near that point. I find minimal difference between even welding cable and car-audio brand wire, so I just get the cheapest I can find.

Just because something is sold at Walmart does not mean its crap. They used to sell fairly good quality Denon home audio, online a few years back. They sell Mobile 1, Penzoil, Quakerstate, etc..... you get my point.
