Marweezy91 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Posted September 21, 2010 I use Knu wire and my voltage does drop to a certain degree, but i havent tried any other type of wire to see if it would correct this problem -__- Quote

kmalinich Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 I've heard nothing but good things about Knu wire, it's what I'll be using in my build this winter. Quote
mbdblue Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 most likely, he probably had a loose connection/ ring terms somewhere so when he changed it out he didnt change the connectors.

EclipseChris Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 My vote goes towards the possible fact that he had not soldered the terminals and the wire got icky (drawing a blank). Tell him to solder all terminals and the wire will last FOREVER. Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback.

Tell him to solder all terminals and the wire will last FOREVER. I think you mean corroded? I run knu and I haven't seen any problems. I'm gonna go with the loose connection theory or some other possible factor to do with the vehicles themselves. Quote formerly known as Jaylor Swift
Jbabycsx Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 What style of wire are you all using for power/grounds from knu? Flex or the other stuff with aluminum? Quote 2000 GMC Sonoma AQ20 FTMFW! 4 DC XL 15's Cadence ZRS-C9 Infiniti Kappa 3.5's and 6x8's Bravox 6.5 components
kmalinich Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 fleks is more flexable if that's important to you, it's also more conductive, but much more expensive. Unless you're doing a 3-5kW+ system I'd just use the KLMX wire Quote
