n8ball2013 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Since everyone is always asking about wire thickness and strand counts etc on wire comparisons, I figured we could start a post with photo proof of side by side comparison shots. here are mine left to right should be knu kolossus, knu klmx, and the tsunami wiring.

Ndnkobra Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 its very hard to tell the difference between the kflex and the klmx wire, they both look very similar in strand count and insulation by eye. I'm assuming the biggest difference between the two are the material they are made out of. that tsunami wiring...has some diesel insulation and probably less strand count.

You can see it has a silver and copper coloration to it. The tsunami does have less strand count but I also got two hundred feet of it for far cheaper than I can get the knu. Ill live iwth that choice.

creyc Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 As long as you stick with a reputable brand 1/0 is 1/0. If you need more power use 2/0 or parallel runs. This "my xx wire is bigger than yy wire" stuff is stupid. 1/0 is a standard, not a suggestion. If flexibility is extremely important to you then look at strand count. 2001 Chevy Blazer (2) SAZ-3000Ds (2) custom 18" Madmax subs in a second row wall Rockford 600-4 Pioneer PRS components Pioneer P800PRS deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have personally seen a off brand companies version of 0/1 that had WAY LESS strands then a "KNOWN" brands 4ga..... Some companies just love to make the outter cover so thick to trick the customer in thinking that this wire is soooo huge, but really it is cheap ass shit.

If flexibility is extremely important to you then look at strand count. Thank you. I cannot tell you how many times people think strand count makes the wire better for electrical flow. that isn't true. I have personally seen a off brand companies version of 0/1 that had WAY LESS strands then a "KNOWN" brands 4ga..... Some companies just love to make the outter cover so thick to trick the customer in thinking that this wire is soooo huge, but really it is cheap ass shit. I have also seen the opposite as well. I hate the fake flux plastic shit in the middle of some wires that make the wire look bigger.
