:fing34:

I will get some weldingsupply wire out to you tomorrow Buddy!

Take your time I got to deal with these first lol! and thanks again!!

I'm currently setup with a RFK4D, Dual amp 4ga kit from Rockford. I've used stinger, Knu, welding cable and few others but the RF 4 gauge is probably the nicest stuff I've handled, I'm not sold on there speaker wire though.

Wow, that Raptor looks like a POS lol, And then that Knu KCA looks the best from what I can see. Not sure though.... As far as thickness of wire goes.

? what? lol! popcorn!

:popcorn:

that raptor looks like alot of jacket and not much wire.. thats the stuff I was curious about. Sure enough its about as i expected size wise. Im sure performance wont be that great either. Fosgate, tsumani and the knu wires seem to look healthy.

:drink40: lookin good so far! keep it commin.

Assuming were all picture whores as i am, can we get a comparison picture with the fosgate, tsumani, both Knu's and the stinger? Maybe another with some of the smaller ones also?

Great post! I was always curious about the differences in the power wire.

Ya I ran into a little issue with my write up. It was to controversial so I have to fix that lol

Any verdict? I should be buying my welder soon (within a month) and will probably throw some 1/0 to get a discount since I will be spending $1200+ as is.

  • Author

lol you will be fine with the welding supplies wiring!

Why was your write up controversial? I've been curious about this thread for awhile lol

  • Author

well I expressed my views to much lol

Well as long as the information is accurate thats fine with me. I'd rather you tell it like it is than sugar coat it.

here is the completed thread!

ADMIN please lock this thread!

In before the lock.

I use the Bullz Audio 1/0. Honestly I really like it. It's $50 for 50ft on eBay. It's really not quite 1/0, but it's always done good for me. Because of the price you could run 2 runs for cheaper than 1 run of higher priced wire.
