4 gauge is good for about 1500wrms

Very poor blanket statement...

It's not the Wal-Mart kit is it? Thats actually 5 gauge stuff if you read the box. I melted the fuse holder from that kit with an SAZ-1500D //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Very poor blanket statement...

Well, yeah. It assumes not very long runs of wire and a decent strand count, but as a very general statement...

upgrade wire quickly, to much current draw over such a small wire

I'm on nukoncepts looking at their wires and the price of say... a 1/0 run is 3.25$. It doesn't say how long that is. Do I add say Qty 10 to my cart to get 10 feet? If that's true this went from really cheap to really expensive... :/

3.25 a ft is cheap. Kicker's hyperflex is like 5.xx a ft. Knu's wires are just as good as kickers: strand count is very close. So actually it is cheap, and not expensive

Wow, I swear 2 weeks ago the Kollosus Kable was cheaper. Did they just raise prices?
