Kolossus is pure copper. KLM is copper clad aluminum. Its designed for lighter current loads. The KLM is also not as flexible as the kolossus. The KLM is great wire though and for the price it just cant be beat.
I have 1/0 KLM. I just ordered some krystal kables last night too.
Well now that i read your question, do you mean difference as in performance or looks and quality?
Performance there is not much difference. The KLM wont be able to handle as much current as pure copper, simply because its mostly aluminum with a copper coating....
Yeah I know all the differences between them, but these runs will be going to the batteries in the back and I just didn't know if I should just step up and buy Kolossus or not. I didn't think I would notice much difference.
You shouldn't notice any real difference as long as you use enough of either wire to match the amount of current you will be drawing. If more than 250a use 2 runs of the KLM, etc.

Is it really? I have Kolossus and it is copper clad aluminum as well. Did they change it or something?

I could have sworn that it was tinned aluminum but maybe I'm wrong unless they made a change. I think I have a piece laying around that I'll have to go look at. Maybe it's silver tinned copper and I was mistaken.
ive currently have both. KLM seems to be great for what i paid for it. but it takes a little more work to run.
the kolossus is rediculously flexible. feels like a jelly worm. lol i think it would be fine with klm(with a little more work) but it won't hurt to go with kolossus
kol=red klm=blue the pic kinda makes the kol. look smaller but its not
