Best Wire/Value for dollar

Great question. Fuse holders. They make nice fuse holders. You will also notice Stinger down there. Stinger Custom Pro > Knu
For the price I paid for 23' of it you couldnt even pay Knu to ship 15' of their top line stuff.

must be some sick fuse holders if u dont want to be a nut hugger, refuse to use their wire, etc. yet u will put their name on ur sig because of some fuse holders.

Fuse holders are fuse holders. Wire is not just wire. Anyone can make a fuse holder. I just happened to get a great price and 3 fuses for less than a fuse holder anywhere else. However if someone handed me Knu's wire I wouldnt use it. Id spend money on quality wire.

I just went on Knu and it was going to be like $300 for all the power wire / rca / fuse holder and speaker wire.

Can anyone give some links of some wire that is of good quality that might be cheaper then KNU's Kollosal Fleks (OFC) stuff?

I have some Install Bay 1/0 and speaker wire, but want to get a good quality wire put in.

Re-doing all of my car so any help would be awesome.

Also, need to do the big 3 while I am at it. Should I use my 1/0 power wire or should I get welding cable? Anyone know where to get 1/0 welding cable for a good price? I saw a few websites but they only sold 50ft rolls of the stuff. guy on ebay sold it and would imprint your name on the jacket...seemed cool, lol. 50ft of 1/0 for 150?

welding cable > Stinger, Tsunami, Install Bay, Knukonceptz, Street Wires, RF, Kicker, JL Audio, Shok, etc.

Why not use that for your Big 3 & power wire? Welding cable is great stuff.

welding wire is the way to go

but at 3$ a foot if that is not shipped price is a rip off...

if that is shipped price not too bad considering what copper is going for these days..

I would still use the IB wire over the KNU...

knu flex (ofc not the cca) > shok ofc > kicker hyperflex IMO.

Nothing compares to my hyperflex, but i do like the knu flex and shok quite a bit.

I prefer stinger hpm 1/0. Then again every wire in my system is stinger. Excluding my optical. As far as I know stinger doesnt make an optical?

Well if welding wire is the way to go then I can look that route.

I was planning on getting the KNU OFC 1/0 to run to the distro block. Then the left over using for my big 3.

If welding wire can do the whole thing, I will start looking for that instead. I personally do not care what the wire looks like. I want functionality over looks.

Any good sites that has welding wire that you guys use to buy from?

i would just google it and find it as cheap as you can

carol brand is the best in my experience..

I do too. I have some 12awg RF OFC speaker wire. That **** is about as thick as my pinky. Its freaking huge.

some of the rockford stuff i have in 4 and 0 guage is stranded like that the material in a cheap lawn chair

the idiot speaks. Welding wire is not great stuff. Im a 3rd generation welder and I can buy 2/0 brandnew flexaprene wire for 3.10 a ft. and I buy 1/0 for 3.75. because its better!. I have handled more welding wire then you will see your entire life. If you know someone who has some to get rid of then go for it but to go buy it over name brand car audio wire is idocy. You wont get **** for strand count. welding wire has bigger strands and even the flexaprene is harder to work with due to the low strand count

the kolossus is high nd. Very good stuff but expensive. I just sold alot or I could hook you up. If you need some for big 3 I do have stinger hyper twist. Its the same as hyperflex. I think I have 2 12' runs left

copper is copper & strand count doesn't change the current capacity of a wire. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

my dad has been a plant superintindent at Commscope Inc since I was 2 yrs old......you have not messed with more weld wire than me. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
