[QUOTE="CrazyKenKid, post: 7365902, member: 579796"] [B]ALSO very important[/B] in this part of the review, it is very subjective and should be treated as such and taken as such. 1. [B]EFX Scosche[/B], this wire I would consider to be an average in bend-ability and cost was on the higher side and the conductor OD was over the average 63%. [IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q269/CcCrazy/Wires/EFXScosche.jpg[/IMG] 2. [B]Monster[/B], this wire I would consider to be the worst of all for bend-ability and the cost was on also on the higher end and the OD was the greatest of all the wires compared today most likely due to the center core piece. [IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q269/CcCrazy/Wires/MonsterCable2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q269/CcCrazy/Wires/MonsterCable1.jpg[/IMG] 3. [B]Sound Quest[/B], this wire I would consider to be an under-average wire due to the lack of bend-ability as you can see how the knot is so big also the conductor OD undersized and the cost was higher. [IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q269/CcCrazy/Wires/SoundQuest.jpg[/IMG] 4. [B]Xscorpion[/B], this wire was one of my favourite wires to use but it will get an average rating due to its price tag per foot but its bend-ability was great and its conductor OD was under the average of 63%. [IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q269/CcCrazy/Wires/Xscorpion.jpg[/IMG] 5. [B]Rockford Fosgate[/B], this was again my most favourite wire to use as its bend-ability was amazing, and the conductor OD is the third highest, the only negative this wire has is its price tag. [IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q269/CcCrazy/Wires/RockfordFosgate.jpg[/IMG] another upside to this wire is the strands are Pure-Crystal Oxygen Free wire, notice it has a silvery colour to it and it looks [IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q269/CcCrazy/Wires/IMAG0211.jpg%20[/IMG] 6. [B]Tsunami[/B], this wire has bend-ability in its corner as bending this wire was smooth and required very little effort, but this wire gets and under average rating because of its price and under average conductor percentage. [IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q269/CcCrazy/Wires/Tsunami.jpg[/IMG] 7. [B]KNU KCA[/B], this wire I am not 100% sure on how to rate it because for one it is CCA, its flex is off the wall, the conductor OD percentage was the highest of all the wires tested, and it was one of the cheapest wire I tested. SO technically it could get all 3 points, but the wire been CCA would that be considered a negative make this wire just average? [IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q269/CcCrazy/Wires/KNUKCA.jpg[/IMG] 8. [B]KNU Kolossus[/B], this wire is the one brand of wire I have used in all my builds to date and I like it second to the RF wiring. The Kolossus wiring has one of the best flexibility out there and the only negative it has is the price which is over the $3.6 per foot. [IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q269/CcCrazy/Wires/KNUKolossus.jpg[/IMG] 9. [B]Stinger HPM[/B], yes this is the legendary pinnacle of wiring out there the HPM wiring from stinger but due to my research I would give it a under average rating because the price was very high, and the conductor diameter is less than the average percentage point and the flex of this wire was the only highlight of this wiring.
