what to get? kicker vs. knukonceptz

[DeuceLee 10+ year member]

Kicker KPD1 = $81, 23 feet of 1/0, 10 feet of 4, 2 distribution blocks, fuse holder, 300amp fuse...

+ You get a bunch of free extra stuff

- You gotta pay alittle more

Knukonceptz KLM 1/0 - $50 shipped for 26 feet of KLM

+ I already have the fuse and fuse holder so its not that big of a deal...

+ I really don't need that extra 10 feet of 4 guage wires...

+ Price and the 5K of strands...

- I'm concern about that whole 90% alum/10% copper thing...IS that a big deal to worry about?

I'm stressin bout what i should get...i'd love to get the KLM, but the big thing is that CCA (copper clad alum) is holding me back...

what's you 2 cents? what would you do? anything else you can suggest?

thanks in advance...

kicker...

klm is good stuff for the price though

and honestly it doesnt make THAT big of a differrence.... but just having nice stuff to work with for an extra $30 will be worth it, and extra goodies //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

shit i still got the smell of the wire on me,,,,

"Right as i opened the package, the lascivious stench of the newer than new shoes smell blessed the air around me with bliss."

iirc the knu wire makes up for the fact that it has aluminum in it by increasing it's thickness.

that and it is copper clad...

i think they said it was actually larger to make it the equivalent of 1/0 copper...

and it's alot cheaper... so good if you are on a budget i would imagine.

I like the kolossus wire and welding wire more than others out there... especially from the price/quality perspective

I've used Knu blocks, and currently own a pair of kickers. The knu blocks were a pain to use with low strand count wires, and the threads on the Kompression fitting were too fine for their purpose. I did like how each output was fused on the Konfused block though.

Kicker uses set screws, and each block has four 4awg or 8awg outputs as well as another 4awg or 1/0 output.
