Need some wire help

[Shenker]

Hey guys, so im working on getting my wire package together for my truck and ordering within the next few days, my original plans included Knuconcepts purple for my power wire, 2 fused runs front battery to the back battery/distro block, and then one fused run to each amp from there, and a simple black 1/0 run for a ground, problem is knuconcepts does not offer any sort of quality ring terminals and as such I would really like to use sky high parts, but sky high does not offer any sort of purple wire. which leads me to using sky high terminals with the knuconcepts wire. Is this a bad combination?

my options at this point are either; A ) Use sky high wire for everything in a black/white 1/0 combo, but I would not be able to have my accent colored wires showing, or B ) Use knuconcepts purple wire with rings/etc of "meh" quality and showmanship, but im really liking sky highs white wire.

In a perfect world I could run purple 1/0 power and white 1/0 ground, but unfortunately it seems that would just be too damn easy... Any help or input appreciated.

by the way, my box is dark purple with white port and trim hence the white/purple theme. and yes... I really am THAT ocd about this system haha.

You could always get terminals from another company? You're not limited to only SHCA or Knu.

On the flip side, you could always get SHCA everything and do Techflex. Kind of a more "finished" look, and not just the average looking wire.

I would use the Knu purple/black wire with SHCA ring terminals. This combination is very adequate in my opinion.

Be careful with the Sky High lugs, they are much larger than standard 1/0 lugs, so soldering or crimping might not have a solid hold.

What is so bad about KnuKonceptz ring terminals?

Why not buy purple knu wire and white SHCA wire and use SHCA lugz. Buy a 16 ton hydraulic crimper for the lugz. makes it easy as hell to crimp and solid like a rock.

This.

Why is that "just too easy?" It really is, it's not that hard. Crimp or solder the ends.

[Rich Schenk]

Crimping with a hydraulic crimper I have found is easier and cleaner to me. strip wire feed wire into crimper hold wire and crimper crimp heat shrink connection and your good to go. Soldered all my wires for 15 yrs and since I have gotten my hydraulic crimper will never solder any large wire again. But that's me to each his own.

okay perfect, Thanks for the responses, my only real concern was that the SHCA lugs would be too large for the knuconcepts wire, but if it works then thats exactly the route ill have to take. and its not so much that knuconcepts lugs are "not good" they are just not of the same quality as SCHA for a very similar price point, and i can choose my heat shrink color as well vs standard black/red.
