How much did you pay?

[forbidden 10+ year member]

So, if you had a more expensive amp you would pay for a better wire? You get what you pay for. Wire is a permanent investment, do it right the first time. Not the best idea to use a black wire for power there Frodo. All it takes is one mechanic to disconnect your battery when you take the car in for service and you have a blown amp of other down line items. Penny wise, pound foolish. You have lots of local shops to choose from in Calgary. For that matter, make a post on Canadian Car Audio and one of the local guys that are on the Canadian site can probably hook you up.

anyone ever used the P3 products from parts express? they have a 25' spool for $41

alright, well i found a local shop which sells 2/0 for $2.25 CAD/ ft(Welding cable). Anyone here use 2/0?

I used 2/0 simply because it came with the JL kit I acquired. I can't tell you a difference b/w 1/0 but it was failry easy to use, hide, manuvear (sp?)...

apperently its just bigger, so i assume higher strand count, but its also hi-flex so it should be pretty easy to maneuver(dictionary.com is my friend hehe). I will probably run it under the car anyways

I didnt want to risk under the car since I'm in FL and in an area where it floods. I just pulled up my door sills and carpet and ran it straight down the middle of the cabin under the carpet concealed by a hump...

I need to get some 1/0 and 4 soon for my new car. I would like Knu's Kol but its expensive. I need like ~30feet of 1/0, and maybe 10-15 of 4awg plus fuses, distros, and terminals. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Edit: 40ft of 1/0 KOL and 20ft of 4 KOL is $114.80 WITHOUT S/H, fuse holders/fuses, distros, battery terminals, ring terminals..

ya its retarted how expensive it is

i payed $62 for the 25' of wire, and am getting a fuse holder with fuse for $10. my rca's and remote wire were $20. Then the connectors and everything should bring the grand total around $110 CAD for the whole kit

 

[protonman 10+ year member]

what do you guys thing of this, cheap or better somewhere else. Also can't they just crimp the connector on before shipping because I don't want to spend on tools either.

I havent seen another company who offers a kit like that . It would probably be cheaper to buy the wire/connectors seperate, however since you dont have tools it may not be. Try shooting them an email or phone call and find out if they can pre-assemble the wire for you
