25ft. 0Ga. wire for 40 bucks.......

0ga has a certain diameter, higher strand count usually means its more flexible, ive used the klmx a few times before but wasnt really happy with the flexibility, after seeing the knu fleks n person i was sold. i used 50ft in the escape and will be getiing more for under the hood

Knu Fleks is awesome...wraps around your finger easily.

And, welding cable is how many strands?

^I read it's 30 gau strands.. so it's true 1/0 though?

Power from front battery to hifonics Bxi1610D like 25 feet.

Anyone know what is the difference between the different colors of cable at weldingsupply.com ((the 1/0 awg))

One can only be a negative connection and one can only be the positive connection, otherwise you'll clip your amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif And the clipping will probably cuase the wire to melt so make sure you hook it up right.

my goal is to NOT have my amp/wire catch on fire.. pushin about 3K, + 4ch. amp (another 300)

I think it said it was 13mm... can't find how big the Knu wire is...

unless you are really trying to kink some wires for an install.. I don't get the point reallllllly flexible wire.... you gonna run it in a straight line under your carpet either way... maybe for more "custom" installs

strand count has nothing at all to do with the guage the total wire diameter is what matters. higher strand count means more flexible.

13mm without sheathing would seem right on for it thats just over 1/2 an inch

 

[snb778 5,000+ posts]

any examples of the diameter of other 0ga wires??

cause the Flex and the kolossus KNU have the same strand count.... so why wouldnt one buy the kolossus> Flex

Flexibility is so overrated, a higher stand count will mean more flexible. Knu flex and hyper flex are great wire but if your bending your wire that tight that you couldnt do with some regular 1/0 your doing something wrong in the first place.

As far as the thickness, im assuming that its talking about the wire and jacket, but even then acording to AWG standards 1/0 should be 8.5 mm or something like that.

Cheaper wire however you typically get tons jacket with little bits of wire.

I do highly doubt its both true 1/0 and OFC with price like that

I have 2/0 gauge welding wire and strand count isnt everything. Strand count has nothing to do with how big the wire actually is. What determines gauge is the cross sectional area IIRC. My wire isnt very flexible but its about the same size as the 1/0 gauge mobile spec i I have in there too. All that reallly matters is the size IMO.

Just my 2 cents. BTW drunk posting ftw....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
