GatiBeats Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Let me start off by saying that this is NOT a bashing post, I run Knu ofc for ALL of my electrical and am very satisfied. However, I think there may be some misconception out there that the knu 0 gauge is bigger than just about any other 0 gauge you can buy. That'd being said, I have only seen the ends of Knu kolossus fleks, kicker hyperflex, stinger hpm, and some sonicelectronix budget cca. The knu appears much larger than the stinger. The kicker wire does have a thicker jacket, but I would vouch to say that the actual amount of copper is visibly very comparable. The knu doesn't appear to be great deal larger than the budget wire either. Just seeing if anyone noticed the same thing I did. Here is knu 1/0(in blue) next to 'Belva bangin bass' wire. (More to show knu size than for comparison. http://s1286.photobucket.com/user/gatibeats/media/image_zps2f8eb804.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 Here's an example of some of the pics I've seen (knu is red). Not saying its not an accurate photo, but the knu almost looks larger than life http://s1286.photobucket.com/user/gatibeats/media/image_zps69e086cb.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1 06 pontiac grand prix alpine ida x100 rf t2 comps rf t1500, t400-2 knu 0 big 3 xs d3400 oct 11 tentatively: 2 obsidian 18 v2's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubNDodge Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 It's hard to compare a wire that is all messed up on the end vs something that is clean cut. edit: in the first pic '01 Dodge Stratass Sealed Trunk Build Log 2008 Honda Fit Sport Build Log On 10/3/2013 at 10:00 AM, ROLEXrifleman said: Anyone who says they knew everything they wanted out of life at 19 can go suck a bag of dicks cause they are lying to themselves or brought up in a cult.

GatiBeats Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 The Kicker has 4704 Stands, The Knu has 5145 strands. thats valid. rockford is also 5145 though. So based on strand count they would be the same size assuming the strands were the same gauge 06 pontiac grand prix alpine ida x100 rf t2 comps rf t1500, t400-2 knu 0 big 3 xs d3400 oct 11 tentatively: 2 obsidian 18 v2's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm really trying to compare is the knu wire in the first pic vs. the second 06 pontiac grand prix alpine ida x100 rf t2 comps rf t1500, t400-2 knu 0 big 3 xs d3400 oct 11 tentatively: 2 obsidian 18 v2's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
