hey guys i had a really quick question for you! were do you buy your wire from? i am looking to buy 1/0 gauge wire. i was looking at some of this stuff

http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KFX0BK-50

Our new jacket allows for improved flexibiltiy and maintains exceptional resistance to abrasion, oil, and extreme temperatures (-40 to 105 C). Capable of loads over 300A. This product can be used in Marine applications. Price is per 50 feet.

but i was wondering why it doesnt' cost as much as say stinger does (265/ 50foot roll) is there a reason like just b/c it is no name? lol. it seems like good solid stuff but cost 1/2 the price of stinger? why is this?

thanks

Some wire you pay for the name. I can tell you from experience it is very good wire at a very good price.

so would you buy that wire for that price of 150-165? and 50 feet seems like a lot. like i want to wire a hc 2400 and 2 amps with 1/0 wire. i think 50feet will be over kill?

i use knukonceptz and love it

the only other wire i would use in place of it would be kicker hyperflex, but i would prefer the knukonceptz due to pricing.

Im running kolossus wire at the moment (not as flexible as that stuff) and its been my favorite wire to date.

If the connections are very tight, you're looking at 12-15 feet a run. Say 13.5 to be safe. So half of a 50 foot roll is on your +/- runs. Then you need to ground the batters as well as cut off a piece for the fuse. Say that's about 4 feet more. You will hear over and over abut the big 3. Use some there. And you might have about 10-15ft left over.

50 gets the job done. You can always sell what you don't use.

BTW i use the Kicker because I get it for a decent price.
