Power Wire - Should I Look For Something Special?

maka78 · Post by **maka78** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 8:40 pm

I'm planning on replacing my 0/1 GA power wire, but not sure what to get. The reason I wanna change this wire is because (1) it's a cheap wire (2) dust comes out of it when I splice it and (3) my powercore actually shows a lower voltage reading than my battery, meaning too much resistance in the wire has formed.

Should I be looking for anything special in a power wire? Why are the prices so different b/w different pairs? I thought wire is wire, and they all conduct the same.

Thanks in advance!

I like Stinger 0 GA HPM power wire. So far I haven't had any problems with it. Plus I like the fact that its very flexible and also when you splice it dust doesn't come out.

Here's where I purchased mine from. They seam to have good prices plus they ship really quick.

The new PG 1/0 gauge PowerFlow is pretty sweet but it also comes at a very high price ,even at cost

I use elemental design 1/0 gauge and like it...
I have heard that the KnuKoncepts, Kicker, and Stinger, are all pretty good..., never expirienced the PG Powerflow.. but have heard that it is pricey...

What I see alot of people doing is buying the kicker amp kits and keeping the 1/0 ga, and then parting out the balance of parts and making out like a bandit. That kicker wire is very nice/good

Screw Monster cable - I dont like their business practices and hyped marketing BS,

Had something to do with the insanely large URL in his post. I set it to a shorter URL and its showing up fine now. Interesting.

He had a problem with the URL tags, dunno why it caused NOTHING to show though.

It's been fixed.

The 0/1 kits were like $50 at the last sale IIRC but ask Brian as he bought a couple. It also comes with tons of install goodies.

I do not think so because the new Powerflow series wire is relatively new Take a look at your dads 1/0 wire for a clearly maked power flow writing . i do however like those AKItones , one of the best amp kits at a good price now a days
