why the ****

you could always cut a couple strands off also.

i got knu klmx 1/0 right into my BXI 2008d easily.

Impossible! I had to twist the **** for like 10 minutes to get it to fit, then trim off the excess.
Maybe you were doing something I wasn't, lol!

Some people are just better at fitting big things in little holes...

same thing happens with my MX3000.1 there is no way I can fit 0GA in there with out cutting off a little bit

and FYI to those that say twist it...that actually makes the wire bigger, just LOOKS smaller.. best way is to tape it off, and leave about 1/2" of wire sticking out, but make sure you tape it as tight as possible

if you take a 0ga. wire, and measure it on a fresh cut,(the diameter of the actual wire) WITHOUT the wire stripped yet, and measure it... that is the smallest diameter the wire could possibly get... twisting it just makes the wire so there are no loose strands sticking out... thats why if you strip it back like 1", then tape the first 1/2", it works better (anyone know what im trying to say)

Please do. I had trouble getting the Knu KLMX into my buddy's MRP-M1000 and even Knu's own fuse holder included with the kit. Went through 3 ring terminals too dammit. It's pretty thick...

aight... imageshack changed since last time I used it..

If you measure the diameter of the wire at the tip here, it will be larger than the next pic, whether the wire is stripped or not doesnt matter, because as I stated earlier, you would tape the untwisted wire to replicate the shielding





this is going to be smaller because the wire strands are arranged better.... same reason why if the tip of a wire is freyed, you just cut it and make it fresh...

to get it in cut at an angle and twist.. works much better.. because at an angle the tip is smaller and once the tip is in the shaft follows..

I just put 3 Crunch Powerzone 1800.4s and a 1100.2 in my van last week, and 8ga SoundQuest wouldnt even fit in the terminals. I needed to put on some TINY spade terminals and then trim those down so they fit.
