accy's are gonna have a high markup, its business, and copper prices have shot up alot lately

a 4awg kit msrp is like 120$

a Kolossus Fleks kit is 58$ which is right around the 60$ your talking about, your retarded if you think the cheap knu cable is as good as the rockford, i have some in my truck, RF kicker is far superior wire, i hate even using that cheaper wire

i think the KNU kit comes with more stuff though, and with RF you are paying for the name a bit

MSRP set by who? Kicker? JL? Rockford? Streetwires? Monster?

MSRP all set buy name brands are going to be higher. Who would pay for there kits if they set MSRP at $60? People would want it for $40. get it?

Just go buy some welding cable that meets your needs. I use 0 gauge welding cable for all my big installs. Why pay for the same type of wire for twice as much. You can get welding cable in all different sizes.

oh, its because rockford uses something special in their power wires, its a new mineral called fosgate...look it up ;P

I'm talking about msrp of Rf 4ga kit, last time we had some they were 120$ish

I have all kind of different wire in my truck, regular welding, kicker, rf etc, you can't beat the flexible wires, so much easier to use
