Stinger Pro vs. Knu

[Sparky73]

Just as the title says. Which should I use? I have enough of each to wire my new speakers, I just don't know which one is preferred?

Stinger is 16G and Knu is 12G if it makes a difference.

12awg.

This wire is hooking up Infinity Kappa's all around, 60w RMS for 4x6 and 90w RMS for 6 1/2. 12G seems like overkill.. or does Stinger wire just ****? lol

In my 12 years experience, I've never heard any difference between 12awg and 16awg wire in a car unless its subs of course. The determining factor IMO is how hard is it going to be to run the 12awg thru the car? Door grommets can be a lil tricky sometimes to get thicker wire thru. I'm running 16awg to all 6 of my speakers and I would be astonished to find anyone who's running a similar setup that sounds better than mine because they ran 12awg rather than 16awg. And FYI, stinger makes great wire just as Knu does. There both good. Do what fits.

It is overkill. Use the 16ga.

As stated already, the 12ga is overkill. I would use the 16ga, it will be much easier to work with.

16.

no reason to EVER use 12 awg for doors unless you are running serious power...and i mean SERIOUS.

16 is easier to run, keep the 12 for when you need it.

quality of both is the same.

12 awg is generally only needed for subs.
