Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1726 Registered: Aug-06 | Is that monster wire on ebay $60 for 25' a legit deal? That sounds like a pretty good price to me but im not sure. how bout that stuff thats $90 for 50 feet. it says it has 3200 strands and the monster dosnt say how many strands. whats the number of strands mean? does less strands mean less current? Details please? |

Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1728 Registered: Aug-06 | thanks but i already have knu and am not happy with it. the klm wire is only good for 250 amps as well. i think im gonna buy the monster and give it a shot. |

Gold Member Username: BonhamdTraverse City, MI Post Number: 1742 Registered: Nov-07 | 250 amps is good for 3K - you have an atomic 3K right? i doubt you will see any difference from just swapping out the wire why not throw in another run if youre not happy? |

Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1729 Registered: Aug-06 | Daniel, i do have an atomic 3k but i plan to run it .5ohms down the road so i want to have a good solid wiring setup. i would run 2 runs but that would cost twice as much ans my amp only has single 1/0 inputs. Cory could you sell me some? while im at it i have a quick hypothetical. lets say i am running 10k rms daily and i have a bank of batts in the back and a starting batt up front, and a single 200 amp alt. since i only have a 200 amp alt would it be ok to run just a single run of 1/0 from the alt to the batts in the trunk and the starting batt (grounds too)? and then just run how ever many run i need from the batts to the amp (grounds too)? |

Gold Member Username: BonhamdTraverse City, MI Post Number: 1746 Registered: Nov-07 | i have a rd3250 and i run it at .5 ohms. i have the same wire knu 1/0 (250A) and have it fused that way i have never popped a fuse if that makes any difference i have 2 runs from the front to the back but one of the runs is a ground |

Gold Member Username: DeadrabitMarionville, MO Post Number: 1292 Registered: Jun-07 | if u have a 200 amp alt one run would be ok. 2 runs would be a little better, anything more is kinda a waste. how long of strands r u talking about? |
|
Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1730 Registered: Aug-06 | Ya by one run i mean 2 as in one for pos and one for ground. So that would be ok then even if i had like 8 batteries and 10k watts to just have a single run of 1/0 (one for + and another for -) running from my alt to my starting battery and then from my starting battery to my battery bank in the trunk? and then having however many runs of 1/0 i need from my battery bank going into my amp(s). |

Bronze Member Username: A12voltman80St. paul, Mn Usa Post Number: 22 Registered: Feb-09 | 3200 strands sounds like 2G wire not 0. |

Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1732 Registered: Aug-06 | thanks a lot mike. Im going to just keep looking for a deal over on ca.com or just buy the monster for 2.4 a foot shipped. its got the magnetic core thing so im guessing its legit monster. |

Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1734 Registered: Aug-06 | anyone find anything better than monster for under 2.40 a ft |

Gold Member Username: RideredderCornell, IL USA Post Number: 1555 Registered: Sep-05 | Knukonceptz 1/0 Kolossus Kable is 5,145 strands. I've seen the Monster Cable and it does look like 2 gauge. Raptor wire is more like 4 gauge. |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1744 Registered: Apr-07 | Take 2 dmms and get a friend to help you (easiest way). Burp your car with one of you checking your voltage in back and one testing up front. If its more than a few 10ths of a volt off I'd add a 2nd run of power and ground wires. Helped me quite a bit. Hope that helps. |

Bronze Member Username: A12voltman80St. paul, Mn Usa Post Number: 26 Registered: Feb-09 | Monster is good wire. Now that its main retail outlets are gone you will see it going for great prices while they try to off load as much as possible. |

Gold Member Username: DeadrabitMarionville, MO Post Number: 1293 Registered: Jun-07 | i am telling u just get either the knukoncepz 0 guage 100% tinned copper or my memphis wire. (my memphis has a few more strands) dont short ur self with cheap wire. i have done that before. if its 17 foot i would run two runs. my alt is a 210 and it is also 17 foot. u could even get some good 0 guage and then a run of 4 guage with that. snow i already told u! its 8 dollars a foot for u. who ever else wants it its 63 bucks for 21 foot. its orange |

Bronze Member Username: A12voltman80St. paul, Mn Usa Post Number: 27 Registered: Feb-09 | Monster may have a wall mart line but they sell at ultimate audio, used to sell hi fi buy and CC. There top of the line is very nice. It will compare to Stingers best. |

Gold Member Username: DeadrabitMarionville, MO Post Number: 1295 Registered: Jun-07 | some one needs to buy my memphis wire |
|
Gold Member Username: DeadrabitMarionville, MO Post Number: 1296 Registered: Jun-07 | and by the way! the klm u r looking at is NOT 100% tinned copper! they make some that is like 3.75 a foot i think. it will do u a good 300 plus amps |
|
Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1735 Registered: Aug-06 | BLK id buy your wire but $3 a foot is to much. im looking to spend $2 a foot. Welding wire is fine to me. as long as it can handle the current i dont care what it looks like. thats what loom is for. |
