CADENCE 1/0 GAUGE Wire (Cheap!!!)

[lionfamlee Premium Member]

FYI...I see people always asking about cheap 0 gauge power wire. They sell 17ft, 24.5, and 49 ft spools too. Averaging about 2 dollars a foot. It's CCA not OFC. Should be able to get 130 to 180amps constant through it daily. Read the description in the item description section!!!

Yup, I use Knu, Stinger, utlraflex orange welding wire, etc... I have not used this, but it seems like decent wire. This is a cost effective way of getting some true 0 gauge wire on a budget. The power wire market is getting overpriced and most of the companies like Knu, stinger, etc are not using true 0 gauge they are using oversized 0 gauge. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif no complaints, but its costly.

You must be referring to the KC cable not the Kolossus. KCA is really good priced too. Gotta pay for shipping though.

Yeah, you will see companies claim 1/0 wire, but it has super thick plastic shielding and when you get to the actual wire strands its only about 4 gauge.

Id rather pay for over sized wire than run an inferior product.

Can def understand that. I have only run top quality power and ground. That's why I listed this for people on a budget. We have all been there.

Well if someone is on a budget, then they will buy Knu because it's cheaper. I'm not quite understanding your point.

I think he's trying to say that Knu is UNDERsizing their wires. Which they don't because practically any person who's spent any time researching Knu or looking up stuff about them has repeatedly read about how their products are true to gauge and are nothing but top notch.

He said himself that Knu is oversized, which it is...I'm so confused :/

Honestly, the extra dollar a foot isn't a big deal

unless you're buying hundreds of feet of wire, the price isn't going to be prohibitive. And if you have enough batteries and amps to warrant hundreds of feet of wire, don't you think you could afford to buy better wire?

Nope, I am not saying Knu is under sized. I use Knu and they oversize their wire. Which is a good thing!!! It's like a battle to get the biggest 0 gauge between the biggest companies. Soon kicker, knu etc will have advertised 0 gauge wire, but really have enough size to be 2/0.
