A word on Knukonceptz 1/0 Kolossus Fleks.

[Duke 10+ year member]

Its the most practical 1/0 wire I've ever seen. Here are some pics. Left is the Knu 1/0 Fleks, and on the right is Audiopipe 1/0. The Audiopipe appears to be slightly larger but not nearly as fleksable and its copper, not tinned copper like the Fleks... so corrosion IS a factor with the Asspipe wire.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Having used the Audiopipe stuff in my car for the last 4 years, corrosion is NOT a factor.

Wow, that's really flexible.

Knu KLM would never bend that much.

KLM isn't meant to fleks that much

Yeah I know, and that's why it doesn't...?

I would rather have copper over tinned copper.I have had good kuck with AP cable so no gripes hear.

I ran my whole car with the fleks cable. I have 1/0 for my main power to my distribution block and for my batter ground and alternator. From the distribution block and for my ground net I have 4 ga. Both are incredible, and it is still cheaper than buying any regular 1/0 locally.

The only thing I am dissapointed with from Knukonceptz is their RCA's. I was chaning how I was routing them under my carpet when I did sound deadening and pulled them taut and the connectors literally pulled off with VERY LITTLE force. I changed back to Stinger for my RCA's as I have had great luck with their higher end stuff.

Why, technically tinned copper is better for corrosion. With that being said, you will not see a difference in most car audio installs over tinned or non tinned copper. If it was a marine application that would be a different story.

I love the Knu Fleks cable. I prefer that over my Kicker Hyperflex //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

The stuff I have did corrode over time when I had it installed in my Buick. It was my first system. It wasn't working right after a few months of usage, and when I checked the power cable at the battery, the first half inch of the wire was nasty green and pretty hard. You might have had different wire than I am referring to?

A very easy way to get around this is to used closed end crimp rings and use dual wall (adhesive lined) heat shrink. If the wire is not exposed to the elements, it will not corrode.
