What brand of cable is best

[moparerrnocar 10+ year member]

Knu, Kicker, Stinger, StreetWire, Monster ect...

I know there is no best cable because everyone has there own personal preference, I'm just looking for opinions.

I wana upgrade my cables from 4ga to 1/0ga, I want to know everyone's personal preference and experience with brand name cables. I'm talking flexibility, strand count, quality, material composition, but most importantly price.

My cheap *** was actually going to call my local welding shop to see how much there 0awg is. I know its cheap, strong and flexible but I like color designation, basic red+ black-. I dont think they offer welding wire in red lol.

Why are some cables claiming copper but they look like there aluminum? I know there is aluminum clad Knu cables, but Street wire claims 100% ofc but yet the cable looks like aluminum? I know my cheapo 4ga soche kit is copper and it looks like copper too, not aluminum. does copper come in silver now a days??? Last I remember copper is gold in color and aluminum is silver. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/graduate.gif.d982460be9f153bb54e5d4cb744f6ae8.gif

i used knu and the outside coating of them is really sweet. i had to go through the firewall and it just slipped right through so smooth and easily. ill def be using them for everything. i want that $20 distro block with digital voltage readout.

also i think their prices are fair, i got 4 guage anyways, the wire cost less than the shipping =/

I use knu, im a fan for simple reasons, price is amazing, quality is amazing, ya its CCA but if your going 1/0 or running multible runs it really doesnt matter no one on here is dum enough to try an max the amps on there wiring, i ha 4awg and so does my friend and we love it now our other friends have rockford 4awg which is ok about the same, and one has stinger 1/0 which is shit no where near as flexable, its not stingers best wire tho i believe its pro? but go with the knu you wont be let down for sure and dont worry about the aluminum it wont hurt plus you look more thug with silver than bronze.
