I'm soon to be getting my two sa-8's with 1200 rms going to them and i'm wondering which type of wire to get ? I know some that you mainly buy the name but i want experiences not just " i heard or i know a guy" oh yea OFC FTW!

Any of those brands 0 gauge will work fine for that power. Get whatever is best deal.

As a full kit audiotechnix is a great price. as far as just cable look for used if possible or pick cheapest deal you can all three are great. I'm currently running knu,welding 2/0 and some old rockford.

knu has a good size but if you dont get the higher end stuff its a little on the stiff side not much. havent tried the others

In my experience it's the other way around...the knu and shok i had seemed very well held together but the AT cca i got moved a little too much and you could feel the wire moving around in the jacket. I know coleman did some different runs to try and fix it so idk if I got a bad run or not...just my .02

Are you running 4awg it 1/0. Right now vertex audio has a such deal on shok 4awg 26 bucks shipped for a spool. For 0 awg audiosavings has monster 1/0 for real cheap

Knu and Shok are slightly bigger then AT but it is still a good product for the price... On that note though I do use Knu

The monster 1/0 that mclerico83 mentioned is by far the best deal going right now. It's going for a tad over two bucks a foot. I bought fifty feet of the clear jacketed stuff, since it's tinned. The red and brown isn't tinned, but it's still great wire at that price.
