I would trust the following brands:

KnuConcepts (Awesome stuff, great dollar value)

Stinger (Used to be better in the opinion of some, still high quality)

Kicker

Rockford

Tsunami

XScorpion (Good value stuff, but Knu and Stinger are better)

If you need good, cheap 0 Gauge, the XScorpion OFC is good. People think that Bullz=XScorpion because they are both owned by the same company. However, Bullz is cheap CCA and is more like 2 gauge, but it works depending on the application.

I think Knu KCA and OFC 0 gauge offers great value. Their KCA can handle 250A.

Knu CCA cant handle 250 amps at 17'. Tests have been done to disprove that. it is good wire, but it is not OFC. Ray once told me from his tests 150A at 17' is what the CCA can carry.

A seventeen foot run? You don't say...I know for a fact it can handle 250A in 3-7 foot runs, as I used it for my Big 3 upgrade. I can see it losing its ability to carry current over a long stretch, though. It's still awesome cable for most people.

I have Knu 4 gauge in my truck for a much simpler setup and I love it. I was just trying to see if there were any brands that were just as good for less. Bullz seems to be not only more like 2 gauge but it's much thicker wire and harder to break. I only figured Raptor would be decent due to their 8 gauge being great for speaker wire. So is there a difference between two Kinetik 600's vs one Kinetik 1200? Because two 600's is much cheaper.

The Bullz is like a 2 Gauge based on thickness, but they use this really crappy CCA that splits and shreds quite easily. Then again, it's like a dollar per foot and will work great for short runs up to about 150-200A. Don't trust it for long runs and to actually meet 0 Gauge spec, but for the money, it'll work just fine and give you that big cable look.

The 1/0 OFC is the only cable Knu carries that will do 250A.

db link isnt bad. not sure if it is 100% OFC but My buddy has it and it is very thick and easy to run and work with. Honestly, once you go Knu, you never go back.

That's getting sig treatment.

I'm gonna hate

Just wondering where exactly has it been proven that Knu doesn't hold 250amps? Telling someone something like that you may want to attach a video or thread for proof. Also don't know if it matters but last I checked the strand count on Knu was higher than anything I've checked.
