Huh? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gifCan you say backpaddle or talking in circles?
Can you say spellcheck or proofreading?

oh yeh i used klmx when i had my fit and got the fleks for my escapeis the kolloseus worth the money? i have the klmx and its a pain.
I knu someone would see through their BS. You can fool some of the people some of the time... As to the troll part, not really, just trying to dispel some myths. There's a lot of BS about wire's ampacity on this site. I gave a manufacturer's rep ample opportunity to stand behind their product. All I got was BS. Well not "that" kind of 300 amps. A different kind of 800 amps will be fine though. Fraud, plain and simple. Forrest Gump is wise enough to not buy their wire. I need a link to that current drop table....Ok, most people that posted criticisms have no clue when it comes to electrical theory.
The relationship between size of current in a wire and its heating effect is very simple.
Heating is proportional to the square of the current and the resistance of the wire.
Heat loss can be expressed in watts. That is to say the rate that energy is transfered or used at.
Take Bills example: 20ft can carry 300a the same way 5ft can carry 800a
So P(watts)=I*I*R
I used the wire resistance calculator here:
http://www.stealth316.com/2-wire-resistance.htm
800*800*.0005=320w over 5ft OR 64w/ft
300*300*.002=180w over 20ft OR 9w/ft
So the 5ft run would produce 7 times more heat per foot. I find it hard to believe that 5ft of 0ga can expel 320w of heat.
Bills explanation is crap. But you guys love knu so it doesn't matter. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Why are you targeting Knu and not every single other wire manufacturer out there? Do you have something against them?I knu someone would see through their BS.

Also, it seems as though you're indirectly claiming that none of the 3kw amps on the market can do close to their rated power without having two 1/0 power inputs, right? Even amps that have been bench tested to do said wattage with one 1/0 input? According to you, that would be completely impossible.
ThisYou do understand though that it is not 300amps continuous. Correct?

1. A 3kw amp with less than a 250a fuse most likely does not do rated. (i.e. audiopipe)Also, it seems as though you're indirectly claiming that none of the 3kw amps on the market can do close to their rated power without having two 1/0 power inputs, right?

I fully understand. If they state their wire is good for a certain amount of current, they should assume I'm gonna run it balls to the wall. They have no idea what type of music I listen to, nor the equipment I use to power it. I may well prefer test tones all day. A wire's stated ampacity is a maximum that can be sustained. Assuming some arbitrary "real world" amperage based upon a presumed (assumed) efficiency is ludicrous. They obviously have their niche with people who know no better. I should start selling wire. I have reels of #10 that are good for um, 150 amps, yeah 150 amps. Wanna buy some? If you want it in red it's good for 200 amps, honest.You do understand though that it is not 300amps continuous. Correct?
