Im LOVING this KKR wire. Its thick as hell and I can take the 1/0ga wire and double it back on its self, then tie it in a VERY tight knot!!!

I also love RF wire.

knukonceptz wire is the chepest and has the highest strand count amongst its competitors. some company's will try to pass off CCA wire as copper, and even worse others will use less wire and more jacket... as far as wire is concerned knukonceptz is the best bang for your buck. one would be a fool to not use knu, unless they are getting a serious discount . remember, not all wire is created equal

Whats the strand count? My KKR 1/0 is 4704.

Like Low, I am amazed with my Kicker Hyperflex. This is the first time I have ever used it and I love it more than about any other 1/0 Ive used before, just as much or more as the Knu Kolosus Ive used. The Kolosus is dang good wire too, but the Kicker wire is VERY flexible, it is awsome to install.

I got my PK1 (I think that is the #, cant remember for sure) Kicker wiring kit with 1/0, 2 dist. blocks, 4 gauge, fuse holder, remote wire and a few other things for 90 bucks which I thought was a pretty good deal. They go for 90-100 bucks on ebay all day long last time I checked.

My power wire is Kicker, with the rest being Knu....both great and Ill probably use the same combo in my next vehicle because I like it so much more than anything else.

Nice. At local shops they wanted over 215 bucks for the Kicker kit IIRC, so I jumped on the 90 dollar deal from ebay.
