Where is a good place to buy good audio wire?

[mackin13 10+ year member]

First question:

Are all wires created equal? (i have a feeling that the answer is NO)

So, which wires are the best?

Im looking for some 2 gauge wire for my power and some 8 gauge for my speakers but am currently on a dial up. Wheres a good place to buy some for cheap and by the foot? Thanks

all you need for speakers is 16, and 2 ga is kind of oddball, 1/0 and 4 are much more common

check http://www.knukonceptz.com

unless you are running several thousand watts 8ga is overkill.

12 ga is usually plenty for subs, or maybe 10.

but larger isnt going to kill anybody.

Kicker no doubt

i dont care what anyone says, kicker wire is the best wire i have ever used, i hate using KNU wire compared to kicker

kicker 1/0 is all i'll ever use from now on...

and for subs just go to walmart, they sell monster 12awg. if you're running over 1500 watts to EACH sub, i'd go with 8-10awg. from Knu.

I wish i could find some kicker 1/0 cheap. i would buy a couple rolls lol.

they had a group buy going for an ok price...probably over now but you should try and find someone with connections to Kicker. they get spools for dirt cheap.

I have the lowest end 1/0 wire from knukonceptz, i think it's called the KLM. It's absolutely ridiculous to work with, not flexible at ALL. When i bought it i thought wire was wire, and it is. But **** that shitz a ***** to work wit.

you think knu wire is hard? (which really, it's not)

get some welding wire (odd gauge or 2/0); that **** is IMPOSSIBLE to work with.

If you go with knukonceptz, go for the kollosus wire. Easy and fairly flexible. Like said above definitely not the KLM series. And the best wire that everyone will say will most likely be Kicker Hyperflex. But beware, that stuff is not cheap.

i use welding wire for my power/ground all the time...the 0/1 i use is plenty flexible. i guess if it ***** compared to the other stuff than it must be absolutely amazing.
