AMAZING WIRE DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 737 Registered: Feb-06 | I ordered this last week for my install, and I just wanted to post a link because I thought it was such a great deal. All the wiring looks very good, and for the price it's a steal. Not to mention FREE SHIPPING. I have no affiliation with this company at all, so I am purely doing this because I was 100% satisfied with my product and customer service. So if anyone needs some wiring check this out. You get a LOT for $30. http://hifiaudioonline.com/inc/sdetail/1952 Enjoy! Ben |

Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 742 Registered: Feb-06 | I don't have a strand count, but I compared it to the 1/0 gauge audiopipe wire I had laying around and it seemed bigger. When you look at it, the wire looks very small inside the jacket, but then as soon as you strip the jacket off it REALLY all comes out at you. They compact it very well in there, so don't let that fool you. And it comes as loose wire. Looks like they just cut it off a spool. The way I looked at it though, for $30 you can't go wrong. It was $30 shipped with no extra charges at all. And you do get a lot. The only thing I wish they through in were fuses and a distrobution block. But that I already had laying around so it wasn't a problem for me. |

Gold Member Username: Tremor1127Team Fi Car Audio [:-] Post Number: 1750 Registered: Aug-06 | you can look at that deal like this... you pay $1.75 per foot for the 17 ft. of power wire, and get everything else free... id like to see the RCAs that come with that kit if possible... |
|
Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 743 Registered: Feb-06 | I actually didn't use them in the install since I needed 2 sets and I wanted them to match. But they are VERY plain. Nothing special at all. |

|
Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7393 Registered: Jun-06 | That looks like a great deal. Might be worth picking up several and turning them around on Ebay. Or even breaking it apart and selling it seperately. |
|
Gold Member Username: Adam_sPost Number: 1340 Registered: Aug-04 | I actually saw that same kit about a couple of weeks ago I was thinking the same thing as you Paul. I could just sell the power and ground wires on CA.com and make more than what I paid for it. |
|
Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 746 Registered: Feb-06 | This looks like the exact kit on ebay. Those are the RCA's by the way. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Raptor-4000-Watt-Amplifier-Dual-Wiring-Kit-1-0GA_W0QQite mZ150129413971QQcmdZViewItem |

Platinum Member Username: BestmankindSQ IS THE ONLY WAY Post Number: 13594 Registered: Oct-05 | you gonna re-sale them? also my cable selling days are over. lol. i sold 3 rolls on ebay and i was barely able get the cables. unless i buy them in bulk i am not going to sell them. |
|
Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 747 Registered: Feb-06 | HAHA did you? That's a lot of wiring. Let me know how it goes for you. May take you awhile to sell all of that on the forums, but you should be able to make a nice little profit if you don't sell it too cheap. |
|
Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7397 Registered: Jun-06 | From Showride's link ppl are making $20 off each kit. Not to mention they charged $30 for shipping. My guess as a kit they're taking $35 profit each. If I break the kit up I could easily double my money. Cost of wire is going up and the free shipping is just too sweet. |

Silver Member Username: Wolf_houndPost Number: 261 Registered: Sep-05 | I just bought 20 kits too bad they ran out already lol anyone wanna buy a kit from me? 50 plus shipping. |
|
Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7405 Registered: Jun-06 | The way I look at it is wire will always be wire. It's not like buying a trendy sub that nobody wants in 9 months. In 2 years ppl will still need wire right? Imagine the prices then. That same kit could go for $100. I still have speaker wire laying around 10+ years old. Still use it today. I only wish I had the opportunity to buy a shore house 30 years ago when they were going for $10,000. Same property today is 1/2 mil. Out of proportion comparison but you get the idea. |

|
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 3134 Registered: Jul-06 | You'll see when you get the wire.Keep in mind they can be selling direct or got the wire in shady ways. |

|
Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 749 Registered: Feb-06 | Yeah, I got it already and I think it is a steal for the price. The 0/1 gauge looks to have a small strand count inside the jacket, but then when you strip it the wire all comes out. I was a bit skeptical at first when looking at it, but after using it I was like WOW. I mean it isn't the same as some of the higher strand count 0/1 guage but it is pretty damn close, and the price is just SO cheap I felt it was a great buy. |
|
Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7424 Registered: Jun-06 | Whatever pays, pays. Today it could be wire, tomorrow could be a d@mn doll. Do I really care??? |

Platinum Member Username: Rovin4 10 Pioneer... Post Number: 11670 Registered: Jul-05 | u wont believe when i opened up this thread & saw Raptor wire since it was today a bud of mine bought some 4g & 0g in this same brand i dunno if a different series but man the actual amt of wire is ROBBERY since the insulation is thick fooling u to believe its high quality - the 0g looked closer to 2g IMO - i hope u r getting a good set since to me it looks like p00p wire ..... |
|
Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 751 Registered: Feb-06 | Take the jacket off I thought the same thing. I compared it to other 0 gauge I had laying around and was like WTF. But then when I stripped it and all the wire came out, it seemed to have close to as many strands. I think raptor just really compacts their wire inside those thick jackets, but when comparing actualy strand count I bet it is somewhat close. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Rovin4 10 Pioneer... Post Number: 11673 Registered: Jul-05 | ^^^will take a closer look @ it tomorrow when i go back to check him out..... |
|
Silver Member Username: KravenbloodOhio DD Z1 you wi... Post Number: 258 Registered: Aug-05 | lol that wire is actually about 6 gauge i bought it for my uncle to hook up a 300 watt fusion and a kicker 600.1 i was pissed but i only payed $30 for it too so since he don't play his stereo load just wanted it to sound better i used it never again will i buy raptor.. but anyways it aint 1/0 gauge |
|
Silver Member Username: KravenbloodOhio DD Z1 you wi... Post Number: 259 Registered: Aug-05 | oh and yes sooner or later ill upgrade his wire |
|
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 3140 Registered: Jul-06 | Damn Paul,have fun with all that 4 gauge wire lol. |
|
Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7437 Registered: Jun-06 | Daaaamn. Where were you guys yesterday??? Lol. I'm not worried. ^^^That kit on Ebay is selling. Worst case scenario is I have 40' of 4ga per kit. That wire alone is worth more than $30. With all the extras and free shipping it's STILL a good deal. They're on their way so when it gets here I'll break a kit open and see. So what's a good strand count for 1/0GA anyway??? |
|
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 3149 Registered: Jul-06 | A few thousand. |
|
Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 752 Registered: Feb-06 | Are you going to count lol? And it is $30. That much wire for $30 is a good deal even if it wasn't true 0/1 gauge. But judging by looks alone, after unwrapped it seemed to have close to as many strands as other 0/1 gauge i had laying around. And I will run a test on it today. I will see how well it fits into the SAZ-1000D terminal. It accepts 0 gauge, and if there is a LOT of room left over then it should have more strands. |

Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7443 Registered: Jun-06 | I'll measure the wire and compare it to this chart. http://www.bulkwire.com/technicalresources.asp |
|
Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7445 Registered: Jun-06 | Well the kits arrives. Not bad for about 25 hours after ordering. I gotta say fellas I'm no wire expert but it seems to be pretty good stuff. Packaged well and as specified on their site. According to the chart^^^ 0(1/0) gauge wire should measure 0.324861 of an inch. Using a caliper I got .315. The jacket IS thick but the wire size is there. In no way is this 4ga wire. And I'm not counting strands either, I'm not that bored lol. The jacket is even thicker for the 3' piece but the wire is also about .315 of an inch. The only beef I have is the terminals were missing out of one kit. An email to customer service will take care of that. This is well worth $30 shipped.      |
|
Silver Member Username: KravenbloodOhio DD Z1 you wi... Post Number: 260 Registered: Aug-05 | if i remeber when i go to aurora ill to take a picture of the 1/0 i got and the one from the amp kit that says 1/o (raptor) |
|
Gold Member Username: Adam_sPost Number: 1363 Registered: Aug-04 | Wow that is really fast shipping. Good to hear that it is pretty thick. Paul send me a kit and Ill count the strands. |
|
Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7447 Registered: Jun-06 | Looks like these will go on Ebay @ $50/pc plus shipping. $200-$250 profit isn't bad for a few hours work. |
|
Gold Member Username: Adam_sPost Number: 1367 Registered: Aug-04 | Haha It was worth a try. Not a bad profit at all. |
|
Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7448 Registered: Jun-06 | Got off the horn with customer service and a couple of sets of terminals are on their way free of charge. Good deal. |

Silver Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 630 Registered: Nov-06 | yeah paul you should do a forum discount Paul |
|
Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7449 Registered: Jun-06 | For you Raymond, $60 shipped. |
|
Silver Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 631 Registered: Nov-06 | thats not bad ill get one of your hands in two weeks if you can wait |
|
Silver Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 632 Registered: Nov-06 | so how many kits would it take to run 1/0 GA and then run another battery and big three? |
|
Silver Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 634 Registered: Nov-06 | BUMP |
|
Gold Member Username: JblanfordPost Number: 1436 Registered: Oct-06 | paul are you willing to sell just some small runs of wire ? |
|
Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7451 Registered: Jun-06 | Yeah I can do that. Might make out better for me that way any way. I'll set a few kits aside to break apart. Mind you I only have the lengths that came in the kit lol. I'll get some azz looking for 30' of wire, he'll end up getting (2) 17' lengths. I can set one set aside Raymond if you're sure you'll need one. Look at what's in each kit and determine the lengths you'll need from the alt and batt/ground and I'll see what I have that fills your needs. Maybe I should've ordered 20? |
|
Silver Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 635 Registered: Nov-06 | sorry Paul nevermind i just saw a role of 50 feet for 60 dollars plus shipping but its still a better deal plus i just need the wire thanks anyways |
|
Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7452 Registered: Jun-06 | Just to through it out there and to clean house a bit, I have some other loose wire floating around. I have about 10' of 2GA. Used it in my solar setup.   I also have 20' of 10GA speaker wire from Knukonceptz. Good wire.  Anybody need any of this let me know. |

Gold Member Username: Matt12490California USA Post Number: 2503 Registered: May-05 | Even though those RCAs are very plain, they are perfectly fine right? Are they "shielded?" (I don't even know what that means) Imma noob |
|
Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7509 Registered: Jun-06 | The RCAs are not the value in the deal. Even the terminals aren't anything to throw a parade over but they'll work. 10 lbs of wire for only $30 shipped is a steal at any gauge. Nicely packaged and shipped immediately. No complaints. |
|
Gold Member Username: Matt12490California USA Post Number: 2504 Registered: May-05 | Let me just ask you this.. should I use the RCAs in this package or pay $15 for some good RCAs? |
|
Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7550 Registered: Jun-06 | That's your call. Like I said, not throwing a party for them but they'll work.  |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana DD 9515d~~]... Post Number: 5013 Registered: Mar-04 | Well, i just got my 3 kits. Its not 1/0ga, but it almost exactly the same size as Rockford 2ga. VERY thick casing, but 2ga...not 1/0ga. Its a good bit bigger than memphis 4ga. Compared it to Xscorpion 1/0ga, the Xscorpion looked HUGE in comparison. (its nice wire) I kinda hate to say it, but Showrides...you must be blind. I dont know how you could think it was close to 1/0...and as for comparing it to the wire you had around the shop, what wire was that? (so i will know not to ever get that brand) |
|
Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7600 Registered: Jun-06 | Damn. Maybe I should consider selling it under its' proper gauge. Funny, they're still selling though. How much is 2 gauge going per ft? |
|
Silver Member Username: ImalikSD2.5......ED9.1=Boom, New Jersey Audioque...N... Post Number: 373 Registered: May-06 | I got my kit, the best thing I can say is it shipped super fast, thats about it. |
|
Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7601 Registered: Jun-06 | I'm still puzzled at how they worked out shipping even if the gauge is wrong. Even if it were all 4ga $30 isn't much. Say it cost them $8-$10 to ship it to you, that's $20-$22 for the kit. Unless they have some badass bulk shipping rate. Even 4ga is going for $1.40/ft. I'm still confused. |
