its really nice being able to use flexible wire in tight spots. Under the hood of my integra, I wish I had more flexible wire. its a pain to bend it to run it from the front battery through the firewall

xxx is kinda sucky but once it heats up it bends ok.

you pay for what you get.

For real. My knu 1/0 is super flexible. When I was messing with the wires under the hood i noticed that my stock 8 gauge wires to my battery and alt are REDICULOUSLY stiff. If i had to work with that on my amp itd be a huge pain.

I have had hyperflex before and was the ish, but currently have Knu KLMX and it does the job, just need to work with it more.

I went the cheap route........and is holding up just fine. Just a bish to get the ring terminals on.

kicker is actually really affordable when buying kits off ebay.

my favorite car audio brand wire kits though would have to be jl by far.

we had some stuff laying around at work that was to be used for the batteries for the UPS system... I want to say it was 350mcm ( almost twice the diameter of 1/0) and the stuff was extremely flexible. some kind of locomotive cable.

The 4/0 from weldingsupply.com is actually pretty flexible.

^^^ tried any of their 2/0 stuff galactic?

i agree with flex wire thou. sometimes it makes the impossible possible

Rockford fosgate 2/0

 

[galacticmonkey 5,000+ posts]

Nope, only their 4/0.

Wire flexibility doesnt matter if its a couple long runs up under the car or something, but in the engine bay and looping from distro blocks to amps is where you need flexibility. When its not flexible you need one guy to hold the wire in place and another to actually hand tighten the battery terminals! Thats how my van is, all cheap wire. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
