I know this isn't really a classifieds ad but I figured I'd post this up for anyone who needs some wire on the cheap.

Audio Savings | Cadence 0G100-BLUE 0 AWG Gauge 17 Feet Car Amp Power Wire Cool Cable Technology

It's CCA wire. True gauge as well, I use it in my car and have 0 complaints. Very close to the same size as Knu's wiring too, except if you go through knu you spend like an extra $10.

Its not a pissing contest just saying strand counts don't mean **** in the big scheme of things there's more to wire than that.

I run that cadence wire. Great for a budget build. It's more than enough for my apsm 1500. Wire stays cool and pretty flexible.

No doubt but when the strand count and the thickness of said stands is higher then say brand B's 0awg then its no contest.

Well what size is cadence's strands then.

So knu has double the strand count and even larger strands? That's hard to believe. Not saying you are lying... but I just can't imagine knu wire being double + of the cadence. I'm not saying that to nuthug cadence wire, because I know its not the best.. but I just don't think Knu is THAT thick.

Jus going by what each manf lists.. I know I bought some 14awg speaker wire Cadence and my factory speaker wire was thicker...

x2, no sense spending $10 more to end up having to cut half the strands to make it fit.

So being u have to cut a few strands at the end to fit said terminal. This then renders the extra strands along the rest of the run useless??? I have never had to cut strands as I use 0-4awg reducers and knu slides right in on them..

Yeah I understand that... that's why I said it was hard to believe. Lol yeah I have some of the speaker wire and wasn't impressed...but I'm sure it works fine for speakers. I was skeptical of the 1/0 wire, but bought some anyway..I was impressed when I got it though. It was pretty close to all other 1/0 I have had and my 2/0 welding cable also. Which takes me back to the point that "true gauge" is smaller than audio wire that we are used to. Just look at welding cable, 2/0 is about the same as your big name oversized 1/0 audio wire.

No debate there......

If i'm reading correctly they are pretty much the same strand thickness but knu has twice the strands. It would allow better current transfer but I highly doubt it would be noticable to 95% of caraudio peeps. After all its still shitty cca.
