Gold Member Username: BernymacPhnom PenhCambodia Post Number: 4768 Registered: Sep-04 | What do you guys think about this power wire http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Raptor-25-0-GA-Car-Amp-Power-Install-Wire-Cable_W0QQitem Z390135279723QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5ad5dff06b I'm going to mainly use it for alternator to battery in the trunk. It should get the job done. Can't complain for $2 a ft. |

Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 21713 Registered: Jun-06 | Yup. Raptor wire is indeed undersized. Those 1/0 gauge kits I bought so many of was more like 2ga. Sold them all as such. The jacket is very thick so it deceives you. Buyer beware. |

|
Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 21717 Registered: Jun-06 | Not an expert but the jacket also looks kinda thick. Is that really how it's stranded through the cable????  Great price if it's true 1/0 gauge. Might pick up a few spools. (If it's true gauge.) |

Gold Member Username: Basebalz13Moneta, Va Usa Post Number: 1907 Registered: Aug-07 | Paul, actually yes that is the way its stranded. and yes this is true 1/0 actually oversized a bit. had to cut to back to fit into my 1/0 ring terminal. and actualy the SHOK should be better than the Knu KLMX as it handles more current and is flexable If your interested in ordering some let me know  |
|
Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 2057 Registered: Apr-07 | ^ I bought some of the "Competition" black 1/0 Shok wire, it was great stuff. Not as flexible as Knu fleks, but still very good wire and extremely flexible. It had a thicker jacket than the Knu, which probably made the difference. |

Gold Member Username: Basebalz13Moneta, Va Usa Post Number: 1911 Registered: Aug-07 | Troy: really? you thought hte Knu Flex was more flexable? i had a piece of it laying around and those the other way. the stuff i had was Grayish, wburs? |
|
Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 2058 Registered: Apr-07 | Yes, the Shok was like a translucent black, the Knu was red translucent. The shok I could tie up like a pretzel, but the knu has a thinner jacket that slides loosely on the copper with the knu. I was able to literally fold it in half pretty easy. It didn't make any difference for install because the two were so close, both were good products, though the shok had a higher strand count. |

Gold Member Username: Basebalz13Moneta, Va Usa Post Number: 1912 Registered: Aug-07 | ahh gotcha the CCA (reference series) sorta relaced the Competition series, and the Competition series well yeh just wait |

Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 21722 Registered: Jun-06 | Can't I just order from the link? Or is there an Ecoustic price reduction???  |
|
Gold Member Username: BernymacPhnom PenhCambodia Post Number: 4769 Registered: Sep-04 | I wish I could order only 25ft but I guess I will have to suffice for 50ft. |
|
Gold Member Username: Loc_outSoCal Post Number: 3063 Registered: Feb-05 | Berny let me know how that cable works for you. |
|
Gold Member Username: Basebalz13Moneta, Va Usa Post Number: 1913 Registered: Aug-07 | Paul, yes you can order through the link, sorry forgot i posted and sadly no cant offer a special ecoustics price  Berny, you could purchase the roll then sell the left over you dont need, prolly make some money off it yah? |

New member Username: VertexaudioPost Number: 2 Registered: Dec-09 | Hey guys! Brad, everyone else thanks! Current website is @ss lol. I'll have a new one up shortly. Been workin hard. Sorry I haven't been on e as much lately. If anyone has questions for me, just let me know. The new Reference CCA cable is upgraded over the old stuff...new jacket...more flexible. Little easier to work with. It's a true 1/0 cable. 5250 strands. We had a guy on some Aussie forum b!tching and moaning because his 1/0 terminals were too small for the cable... lol. As most of you guys know though, get a slightly oversized terminal or, if need be, just cut down to size. Definitely a true 1/0 though. Should be one of the easiest on the market to work with. Russ has a video of it here...you can check out flexibility: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij3AQ2XAMRA Any questions though just let me know. I'll try to stay around here a bit more Mike |

Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 21725 Registered: Jun-06 | Need some help Mike. Trying to order 6 rolls using the presale links but the prices are coming up different at checkout. How can I get the presale prices to stick? Thanks bud. |
|
Gold Member Username: Basebalz13Moneta, Va Usa Post Number: 1918 Registered: Aug-07 | Hey Paul, Please shoot mike a email with your phone number and he will call you asap tonight to sort it out. Thanks David |
|
Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 21728 Registered: Jun-06 | Sent. I emailed him earlier as well but no response yet. I can order tomorrow. No biggee. Just wanted the wire at the presale prices before the new year. A few bucks isn't a big deal but in this case it's a $100+ difference.  |
|
Gold Member Username: Basebalz13Moneta, Va Usa Post Number: 1920 Registered: Aug-07 | Hey paul, did Mike get in touch with you? Sorry im having to be the middle man, but he went on a trip to Chicago with his family so im doing best I can relaying this stuff LMK asap |
|
Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 21737 Registered: Jun-06 | No, no response today. He was supposed to email me my shipping code. Don't bother him tonight or tomorrow over it. Since I can't receive the order until February anyway I'm in no rush at all. Just as long as I can still get the pricing that was supposed to be available until midnight tonight. I'm with my kids today and tomorrow so we all just want to relax the next few days. |
