KLMX for big 3?

[06goat 10+ year member]

I was thinkin about gettin some 1/0 KLMX for my big 3, but then I just read that KLMX is made for lighter current loads... Would it still be ok to do my big 3 in KLMX? or should I get something else?

if that is the cheap 1/0 from knu please dont get it. ive used it on several installs and that wire is just meh. its oversize so it doesnt fit any terminal rings. just fkn sucks to work with. just get the flex or whatever its called

Well i used the 4guage for my power wire/gnd to my trunk, and i thought it was fine.. the only thing im concerned about is it saying "made for lighter current loads"

1/0 will give you problems. dont use knu fuseholder if you do get that wire. it will do fine for the big 3 since you are using such shorter pieces. its copper clad which is why it cant handle too big of a load like 100%ofc wire. either way if you are fine with using it then go ahead and get it. i will never recommend it to anyone again.

Also used it for my Big 3. No problems, but I do agree it's not the best of wire.

i think it depends on your system.

if you think that your system pulls out more current than the KLM could handle, then don't use it.

for smaller systems, you will be fine. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

at such short lengths it wont make a difference.

the only time the resistance of wire is really an issue is at longer lengths

I bought some for my car, but decided against using it for my big 3. I went with some 2/0 welding cable instead. I'll use the Knu for my amps and batteries.

I'm using the Knu Kolossus Fleks Kable 1/0 for my Big 3 install...looks mighty capable of handling the load! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif
