Knu is great wire....i really like the Kicker Flex wire too.

Def get theknu. Good wire for not much money.

i agree about the knu its good stuff.

kicker flex is awesome though

i have tsunami and its very durable but its not flexible at all

I was wondering the same thing, is there any disadvantages to using the Knu CCA wire as opposed to copper wire?

The CCA wire can't carry as much current but is more than sufficient for the majority of people.

Nothing other than being a little larger to carry the same amount of current and being less flexible.

I partially agree with BJ. The Knu Flex and Kicker hyperflex is, IMO, no different. They both have the same flexability. Ther Tsunami is less flexable but I wouldn't say it's "not flexable at all". It's the same, just as flexable as any other wire that isn't Knu Flex or Hyperflex.

So the Kolossus 0/1 I noticed can handle about 300A according to Knu, whereas the KLM 0/1 can handle 200A-250A, too bad they don't offer the Kolossus 0/1 in a wiring kit.

I'm gonna be running about 2500W total fuse rating of both amps is 270, so I'm thinking I might NEED the Kolossus's higher rating //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Tinned wire has more resistance.. also the fancey transparent jackets you see in car audio are made of plasticized PVC.. AKA shitty jacket..

better off with a quality wire that uses strait up copper and a neoprene jacket.. such as welding cable..

Fuse rating has no bearing on how much current the amps actually draw.
