Knu is ridiculous

i like the wire for the price and performance of it. Cant wait to get my 14 gauge speaker wire.

How may watts can that 14g handle do you think? Cause i think 10g for mine is **** over kill, its going to be a pain trying to run that to my door speakers lol.

This is the chart I used hopefully its accurate..

over kill is always a good thing when it comes to wiring. as long as you have the space for it. and yes.

The knu 1/0 OFC is $4/foot, the knu 1/0 CCA is $2/foot, and 1/0 OFC welding cable is $2/foot.

That's what I was referring to. CCA has less than 70% of the current capacity of OFC, so the 1/0 the OP bought is equal to 2ga OFC welding cable ($1.75/foot).

unless your running 4k+ you probably wont see any issue

nothing wrong with a 1k setup. install is 90% of the sound so just make sure that part is solid.

Yea this is going to be my first install... I'm Just nervous on taking the molding/dash apart, the wiring I'm pretty sure i got it down. I have been reading the stickies non stop lol

I use welding cable. $2/foot for 1/0 FTW, and it's the same thing. It'll tie knots and do everything the knu stuff will for half of the price.
If you can find a place that carries it locally, you can save some money over the knu stuff. It even comes in up to 4/0, although I haven't seen an amp or distro block with a 4/0 input yet, it's huge.

Yup, I have used all the good brands like Knu, Stinger, etc and loved the products. I did switch over the Trystar welding cable a few years back. It's the same thing, but I can get it a choice of 30 colors and get custom printing.
