matt@mechman Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 We just got in a bunch of the new XS power 1/0 cable, and a bunch of people were asking for info on it so I thought I would make a thread. Here are some comparison pics of OFC wire. From top to bottom: standard 1/0 welding cable Kicker 1/0 hyperflex SHOK 1/0 COMP XS power 1/0 XS Flex From what I can tell, the three audio cables are pretty much the same. Same jacket, same flexibility, the XS power looks to have a little thinner jacket, maybe a little more copper, but it's hard to tell.... I'd say that for the price, it is pretty much comparable to any other premium "hyperflex" style audio cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt@mechman Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Here's a similar comparison for the CCA XS power cable (XP Flex) From Left to right, it's XS power XP flex and MechMan 2 AWG cable just for refference they appear to be pretty much the same size as the OFC 1/0, except the strand count is higher, 5,250 for the both the SHOK and the XS XP.

Nine8SST Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Looks like rebranded Kicker? Is the price better than the Kicker HyperFlex. I have a chunk of Kicker and it is identical to my RF 1/0, I just have a red jacket instead of blue.......pretty cool though if ya can save a few bucks and XS obviously has a good rep.
