some questions on wiring.... need some help

ok guys, i was driving around today making stops at local shops looking for high strand count 1/0 gauge and 4 gauge. well none of them had very good wiring.

my last stop was to a small new place and he busted out this multi strand braided 1/0 gauge wiring. it look like a bunch of 12 gauge braided together. he said that everyone was raiving over this stuff and it was some really good stuff. he said that because of the smaller gauge that the current flows faster or somthing like that. i think i saw a Directed label on the spool. anyone have any opinions on this stuff?

secondly, if this stuff isnt that good, where is a source for nice wiring.

im almost 100% that is was directed wiring. looked like it was copper. i had some nice high strand stinger wiring before but im going to need some new stuff to do that big three upgrade as well. im also going to need new wiring because of the different way im routing it all this time. is the new braided stuff anygood?

I used Kolossus from Knukonceptz. Worked great for me. Here's a link to the 1/0 if you'd like to check it out.

The kicker hyperflex is extremely nice wire to install. I'd suggest picking up a Kicker 1/0 dual amp kit up offa ebay for cheap and sell any pieces of the kit you may not use. That'll end up wayyy cheaper than buying 1/0 locally.
