I have used both and had no problems with either one. Just buy whats cheaper. Most people don't even keep their car long enough to see failure in an amplifier current wire lol...I would save on current wire and buy good rca's. I have had many experiences with rca.

wtf is that?

I'm seeing 4AWG next to 0AWG, not to mention the fact that there is no consistency in the brand/product level. Furthermore, there is no mention of copper/conductor quality, strand count, resistance, transfer loss etc.

All in all, advice should be grounded on experience or real world facts derived from a stout testing methodology. It should NOT be built on a person's brand affiliation or the sticker on their back windshield (general comment).

Looks like I made a good decision by going with KNU. As for the original direction of the thread, I would suggest SHOK once it can be afforded. Though, in no way is stinger "piper ting"...

Not So subjective review

Just like last time I gut a 6inch section from each brand and cut the jacket off to reveal just the copper and I weighted that copper and displayed my findings.

Based off of my findings with the tobacco sale I would have to pick either KNU KOL, Kicker, RF wiring and IXOS , as they all showed a lot of copper content. But based on price and copper content I would have to pick KNU KOL over all the brands and a close runner up would have to be the welding wire. I would have picked Kicker or RF or IXOS but their pricing is a bit high as compared to KNU or even Welding wire which is an excellent runner up for its 3-3.5$ price range. Also please note that since I did this review KNU has raised there price of the KOL wiring and it is still a better value!



That's it. I'm going by edoos for welding cable.

KNU is good wiring, I once wired my entire car with it.

You must by direct though. They are very firm on this and probably won't entertain any dealer enquiries (with the bloodhounds we have locally, I’m sure someone already went after them).

On one build I did, we used welding cables also.. They are a little harder to bend but I always liked the quality and sizes available.

Knukonceptz wires are available now in Trinidad i personally have used 95% of the wires on the spread sheet and i must say the shock works very good. But anyone who would like to see the Knukonceptz can and the wires are not that costly comparing it to the other brands on the market.
