Knukonceptz size

[Black Truck 10 10+ year member]

I just ordered a bunch of their 1/0 cable and I am about to purchase some distro blocks and fuse holders. I am not reading this right and I am seeing their cable as 66MM which is like 2 inches so I know thats not right. Does anybody know if this cable http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KLMX0BL will fit into this distro block http://cgi.ebay.com/AUDIOPIPE-DISTRIBUTION-BLK-1-X-0-4-G-IN-4-X-4-G-OUT_W0QQitemZ320282687055QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item320282687055&_trkparms=72%3A1073%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1318 This is the same1 Team H&K is selling. I did a search, and couldnt find anything about their size other then some1 posted it is closer to 2/0.

thats 66 square millimeters. Area.

The KLMX isn't going to fit into any standard 1/0 fitting without trimming. Look at getting some Kicker blocks since they are oversized 1/0 to fit their Hyperflex wire.

Awesome I get to spend more money haha, can others confirm this?

Or trim the wires like 85% of KnuKonceptz customers to fit normal sized distro blocks

its a tight squeeze to get some of this monster 1/0 to fit into a kicker ANL 1/0 holder

By trimming the wires, would I loose any conductivity or anything with that?

its a bit over sized(the knu)

good stuff,the lower lines arent to flexable but they work

technically yes, will you notice? no. Unless you trim like half the wire, and even then, its the long runs of wire that need the extra capacity

conductivity is a function of area AND length. At a length of 1" or less you'd have to trim a WHOLE lot of strands to have any meaningful effect on the current capability of the connection.

So in short its ok to trim the ends? since the max length of each cable is 15 ft

yes......... the rest of the wire will still have the full amount of strands. even though the wire is cut on the end, the current will flow to the full amount of strands within about an inch. meaning that sense the wire will only have less strands for about an inch you wont notice it. its not enough resistance to cause voltage drops or to melt the plastic coating on the wire. ( unless your in comps and need every little bit of power ) and it still would not make that much of a diffrence. if it were a couple feet then you might have problems.

don't worry you'll be good just trim the wire till it fits in.
