so for 3k watts would you say 2 run of power and ground would be enough with the klmx?

I mean, the KK would be sweet but then again you can get 2 ft of klmx to 1 ft of kk.

Works fine for me so far.

yea and for the more money you get a far better cable, just most people are cheap as fuck

"Conclusion

At this point you might be thinking that CCA wire is bad and shouldn't be used, but that's not the case. We've done extensive testing on CCA wire for several manufacturers and our results show that it can work very well for all but the highest current applications. Because of the additional resistance you simply can't substitute the same gauge CCA wire for the traditional gauge copper wire. Our strong recommendation would be to simply use one gauge larger size of the CCA cable than the copper cable.

That being said, if you compensate for the increased resistance in the CCA cable by going to the next larger gauge size, you'll probably end up with equal or maybe even less resistance than the smaller gauge pure copper. But along with an increase in cable size comes an increase in price. This could mean little difference in bottom line prices between comparable copper and a +1-gauge in CCA, so be aware of whatyou're buying.

WIRE SPEC POWER DEVELOPED @ CLIPPING

FULL SPEC - 4-GAUGE PURE COPPER 1,783 watts

BELOW SPEC - 4-GAUGE PURE COPPER 1,705 watts

FULL SPEC - 4-GAUGE CCA WIRE 1,631 watts"

So, for my application, 0 gauge cca seems more than sufficient, at least, thats according to car audio mag

tell me how many peopel here will tell you to put 1700 watts through 4 gauge period....that mags not the defacto answer

Right now you can get 50 foot spools of kicker 1/0 for $119 shipped. that works out to be 2.38 a foot shipped

[emperorjj1]

lol i dont even have to talk shit... stephen did it for me

lets assume that the case was directly equivalent. 4g cca 8g copper 1/0 cca 2g copper ect then why would you go with the larger wire at all. If 2g is all you need then run 2g bc its easier to run, priced about the same as the cca ect. BUT if you can get kicker 1/0 for 119. game over

[ch0sen]

sold me, since cca is only 65% conductive and has a higher resistance then solid copper seems the way to go, no kk for me, prb get some kicker or stinger spools on ebay

[CallMeTy]

i was thinking of using the kk klm1/0 wire for my 4ch. run the 1/0 to a dblock then run 4guage to the amp. i think it should be good.

Go On.......

if your gonna be running a 3000+ watt setup then you shouldn't be buying cheap wire anyway. But for the rest of us the KLMX 1/0 will be more than enough.
