So like the title says, im looking to buy bout 50ft. of 1/0 power wire. Which brand should i go with? Have been looking at stinger hpm, knu kol fleks, kicker, welding cable but not sure what size and if its even good for car audio, and shok. Going to be running approx 3.5k watts of power from it.

Anyone use this wire before?1/0 WELDING CABLE 50ft coil - MADE IN USA - eBay (item 290537286604 end time Mar-23-11 15:00:51 PDT) I was wondering if 1/0 was big enough for a saz3000d and sax100.4. It seems to be a lil smaller in diameter compared to knu ofc 1/0. Thanks

If you don't mind your wire being slightly stiff audiosavings.com has a super sale going on for Monster 400 Series OFC 1/0... Also the Cadence wire is ofc and looks to be a good buy if it's truely sized

Knu KCA 1/0ga does the job for me. Super flexible, cuts clean, looks good, and fit my budget perfectly.

Knu KCA works wonders

Knu KCA is something i wouldnt use. didnt compare with its flexibility or size to my knu kolossus or hyperflex. or even shok.

as much as i like knu its just to hard to use its to much wire i always find myself cutting so much wire to get my rings to fit its defeating the purpose

Actually it isn't. The larger wire over the long run is still better. You trimming a little bit on the end to get the rings on it is minuscule. Also the ring itself that goes over the wire, makes up for the loss in wire.
