What type of 0 Gauge?

[Sekani's 96]

I'm going to be doing the big three upgrade on my hoe I just wanna know which type of 0 Gauge would u guys prefer,think performs better,or had experience using?

 

[SunlitComet]

more strands in cable the better. like rockford fosgate.

 

[Sekani's 96]

Yea i know u get what u pay for im between rockford fosgate,kicker,knu concept i want to get at least a 25 foot spool of it

 

[SunlitComet]

a 51ft. spool of RF will cost about $200 perhaps a by the foot purchase from crutchfield is in order.

I think they have streetwire.

 

[SeriousSide97]

go with knu konceptz. best if you ask me. flexible and true copper

 

[Sekani's 96]

Thanks Sunlit I'll def look into that..
An Serious I was looking at knu they have two types of wires one is better then the other

 

[blueflamed03]

check strand count, jus because it looks like 0 gauge, doesnt mean it really is

 

[SunlitComet]

So true.

x's 2 on the knu. high quaility stuff

 

[NOVAhoe]

so would it suck if i used 4 gauge lol, my buddy installs stereos at a shop and he got me like 15 feet of 4 gauge streetwire for free, so i was just gonna use that, i mean its better then stock thats for sure lol

 

[felskee]

well i mean if thats all you got... its bette than stock. if your using anything < 0 gauge i would run the strand along with the old connects

Blueflamed what wire is that blue 0 gauge? I was looking at either kicker or Rockford fosgate too

 

[Sir-Lancelot]

Welding Wire.

Save your money and spend it on something that makes a difference.
Welding wire is true gauge OFC and plenty flexible.
I have never needed wet noodle flexibility and I have 8 runs front to back.

If you need a pretty color then spend more for that, but that would be the only reason for me to spend it.

 

[blueflamed03]

I'd choose flexability anyday over welding wire, unless i was welding.

Kicker or Knuconceptz

Lots of people feel that way and I have used most everything myself too.
I dont knock peoples choices so dont take what I say like me trying to say this is better than that. Buy what you like, just giving my opinion.

I think welding cable gets a bad rap on flexibility personally. No it's not Fosgate or Kicker flexible that stuff is crazy limp , but it is plenty flexible for car audio IMO. Almost half price too.

 

[blueflamed03]

Not dissing your advice at all, get what fits or what one desires. Just like audio wire better personally.

 

[SPLmonster13]

Rockford is great wire, ive personally had tons of good luck with Monster Cables 0/1. As long as your getting legit monster cable and not one of the knock offs.

That is what I got

What about DBLink 0 guage? Made in USA (supposedly) and is 80.00/50 ft roll.

 

[AlanHurd54]

quite honestly the absolute best 0 gauge for high current is welding cable its a little more expensive but the insulation is better the only down fall is u can only get it in black
