Dr. Johnson Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 this may sound dumb but what is a good and inexpensive wire to use for the big 3i know brands like monster cable and stuff like that but thats kinda expensive and i wanna use 2gauge if not then 1/0 any recomendations?? Measure how long each run is and then go to the for sale thread that scottiej has and buy the wire there. They are all crimped and ready to go for a reasonable price.

pstone11 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Doc. J has a great point ^^ If you want to do it yourself, just go with some knukonceptz wire... It's fairly inexpensive and good quality. Quote Check out StoneSounds to see my recent builds.Or look at the Flying White Facebook Page! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbodylexus Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 If you can find some on sale then go for it but if you are going to buy new wire I would recommend Knukonceptz wiring.

Fender Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I used KnuKonceptz for my Big 3. I have the KLMX (pain to bend and stuff) I prefer Stinger or the higher quality Knu (Kolloseus Flex) Quote 2 RE SE @ 32Hz AQ 1200D Image Dynamics Ctx65cs Hifonics Zxi6008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPagan Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Good wire to use is Knu fleks, Kicker hyper flex, or Rockford Fosgate wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregggg Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Use stinger or kicker, stay away from KLMX (my reason is because memphis audio sent out a warning to their authorized dealers telling them to stay away from copper clad because a 8 gauge full copper wire can hold more amperage then a 1/0 gauge copper clad wire) Quote 2002 Toyota Solara SLE V6 Headunit - Pioneer DEH P3900MP Door Speakers - Polk Audio db6501 6-1/2" 2-way Component System Rear Speakers - Polk Audio db691 Speaker Amp - DD C4b Sub - 2 12" Alpine Type R's in a 2 @ 33hz Sub Amp - DD M2A Electrical - Big 3 - Stinger HPM 1/0 guage Wires, Optima Yellow Top Battery, 180/120 DC HO Alternator w/ MLA Confuscious say "he who say it can't be done shouldn't be bothering man busy doing it" Now feel free to go crawl back under that rock and leave this to the professionals.... refs: DC_Power_Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it off Darvex for like $1.39 a foot or so Quote 2 RE SE @ 32Hz AQ 1200D Image Dynamics Ctx65cs Hifonics Zxi6008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
