Monster Cable vs. Stinger


Recommended Posts

I need to get more power/ground wire for my upcoming build (just adding components and a new amp for my mids and highs). Was wondering if anyone had experience with both brands. Which is thicker? etc etc...

Ordering from either darvex or audio savings. soooo yeah. Halp?

monster is just a whole bunch of fail. overpriced goods that perform the same as everything else

Stinger any better? Or should I get kicker maybe? Or Xscorpion (never heard of em before)?

Anyone else have other opinions on this? I'll be getting the wire this coming weekend and don't want to screw myself. Granted I'm only going to be running a 4channel amp off of it (RE 1600.4) and itll be run at 4ohms per channel.

Still... anyone have suggestions or experiences with Monster Cable, Stinger, Xscorpion or Kicker power wire?

edit: I need to check maths before I post haha

Knukonceptz ftw!!

Ya know what. Fuck it. I've always wanted to get some Knu. Always heard good shit about it.

And correct me if I'm wrong but I should put a fuse inline between the power line and the amps right? (I'm using a cap as a distro block of sorts until I can afford a battery. note: i was given the caps so I didn't waste money on em or anything :) lol ).

monster cable wire is over priced, and way thinner.

Did I forget to mention that monster cable has a plastic solid tube thru the middle of their 1/0 power wire to "increase" flow or some BS reason (which must not be true because non of the other wire companies have tried or done their own version of this.

So just remember when you buy monster, your paying for even less copper, and more rubber, oh and the name.

Theres a few threads if you use the search feature with these brands vs other brands.

Took the dive and got 20ft of Knukonceptz for 15 plus 5 for shipping. Not bad if i do say so myself. Can't wait to get it. All that is left is to order the amp after finals then build time can start!!!!
