> 3 dayThis install kit comes with all the hardware needed to install an amplifier or other item that needs wired in power. These wires are thick and oversized with extra wire stands for less resistance. The wires are heavy compared to other wires because of all the extra strands. This wire is very flexible and the insulation is oil resistant. Check out the knukonceptz seller page for more innovative products.

> 3 dayNice quality cable. Insulation could be a little thicker but is plenty adequate with proper installation. Used plated solder lugs for the install. Suggest wrapping insulation with high temp electrical tape in two or three tight layers about three or four inches up from solder connection to protect the integrity of the jacket. It melts pretty easily if you arent extremely careful. Remove tape after cooling completely and use heat shrink tube. Had to trim a fair amount of strands to get it to fit the lugs. Definitely a little oversized but thats not a bad thing. I didnt use the included fuse holder as I have thermal breakers, but Im sure it would be fine for most audio installs.

Greater than one weekThe wire is super flexible. The wire strand is even and you can tell that its really pure copper when you cut it. I think this is the best wire in price point of view and brand trustworthiness.

> 3 dayPackage came a day early. Wire size and length are as advertised. It came in original knukonceptz box with everything. I ordered the 18 gauge OCF remote wire off of knukonceptz website for a couple bucks. Plan on getting thier OFC RCAs as well. Awesome brand, I plan on using knukonceptz from now on.

KnuKonceptz Kolossus OFC 0 Gauge Power Amp Install Kit
The KnuKonceptz Kolossus 0 gauge amp kit features our top of the line Tinned Oxygen Free Copper Kolossus power and ground wire. Made up of ultra flexible PVC and ultra fine tinned strands of oxygen free copper (OFC), the Kolossus Kable is the standard for which all others are compared to.
This kit is designed to be a base for installation of a large, high current audio system. Once again KnuKonceptz includes additional 0 gauge ground wire to allow for Battery to Chassis Ground. Included with our kit is one Inline ANL fuse holder with 300A Fuse. Additional Speaker Wire and RCA"s will be required to complete your installation.
Kit Includes:
- Power Wire: 18 Feet Tinned OFC 0 Gauge Ultra Flex Blue
- Ground Wire: 5 Feet Tinned OFC 0 Gauge Ultra Flex Black
- Fuse Holder: In Line ANL fuse holder with 300A Fuse
- Terminals: 0 Gauge Gold Plated Ring Terminals (3 Black / 1 Red)
- Wire ties, bushings and split loom
How many watts can this amp kit handle? At KnuKonceptz, we do not use "watts" to rate our amp kits. This is a very inaccurate method to determine what the proper gauge wire required for your amp installation. Many amp manufactures do not represent the output of their product accurately in watts. Please refer to your amplifier"s fuse rating, this is a number a manufacture can not fake, well they could but it would put their product in harms way! Add up the fuses on the end of your amp (Three 80A fuses = 240A total draw) If this number is under 300A, this kit will fit your application.
Plain and Simple Specifications
All KnuKonceptz Cable Products clearly state these specifications
- Wire type - CCA or OFC
These materials are commonly used, but not commonly stated when shopping online. Know what you are purchasing. Both metals are capable of performing up to their rated loads.
- American Wire Gauge
Wire gauge is crucial to powering your system correctly. Undersized cable will create unsafe conditions and may shorten your amplifier"s life.
- Max Load (amps)
Wire"s ampacity changes with gauge and materials. KnuKonceptz does not rate cable based on watts. Amplifier manufactures do not always truthfully state the output of their product, check your on board fuses!
True American Wire Gauge (AWG) Products
- Using American Wire Gauge standards, the gauge of stranded wire is determined by the total area of the conductor.
- To calculate this you would take the area of each strand and add it together. This area, in square mm, then determines gauge.
- Diameter is not as critical with stranded wire, this is due to the tiny air gaps between each strand. Diameter may fluctuate with strand size and how tightly wound the rope of the cable is.
- The smaller the number, the larger the wire, until you reach zero or aught (0). From zero, you then have double aught (00 or 2/0), three aught (000 or 3/0) ...
- Based on AWG, the true gauge of this cable is 0 Gauge
Tinned Copper - What the Pros Recommend
- When bare copper is exposed to oxygen, it oxidizes over time (turns brown/green).
- These contaminants are damaging to the cable"s ability to conduct electricity.
- Tin provides a protective barrier from oxygen to the bare copper underneath.
- By adding a thin layer of tin to each strand, the cable is no longer able to oxidize.
- Tin does not react with oxygen and therefore the cable will never change color or have any change in its ability to conduct electricity
