Description: KnuKonceptz continues to blaze new trails for automotive audio enthusiasts with its new Copper Clad Aluminum Cable dubbed 'KLM'. Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) is made up of 90% Aluminum and 10% Copper. Consisting of 66.88mm^2 of CCA the KLM Kable is equal in size to the Kolossus Kable, but is designed for lighter current loads and not lightening your wallet.

see im wandering if copper clad aluminum wire is equal to regular cooper wire?

yup copper clad alum. cant handle as high a load as pure copper. alot cheaper though. the 1/0 ga that is way better than reg 4ga, and about the same price.

KLM = cheap version of Kollosus. It just uses cheaper metals, same strand count, different metal.

no i dont care if you care i was just wanting to know if it was ok!!

it is ok depending on the current load u want to run.like everyone said ,it is better then 4 gauge for roughly the same price.but true copper 0 gauge will flow more current.

like i already said? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/graduate.gif.d982460be9f153bb54e5d4cb744f6ae8.gif and yes it will do fine. just follow the amp rating on their site.

This isn't entirely true. Knu Kolossus is roughtly equivalent to standard 2/0 wire (it's huge)... this wire is just as large but since it is CCAW it is electrically equivalent to regular 1/0 wire. There is no disadvantage compared to standard 1/0 wire and it is WAY lighter, weighs about the same as 4 AWG copper wire. It IS less conductive than Kolossus, but that is because Kolossus is bigger than standard 1/0 wire.
