KnuKonceptz Red KCA Complete 4 Gauge Amplifier Installation Wiring Kit

Description

Our Kolossus Copper Aluminum (KCA) series cable was designed specifically to be larger than the competition. Copper Clad Aluminum is less conductive than Oxygen Free Copper when comparing like sized conductors. CCA however is also much less expensive. So by increasing the area in our KCA cable, KnuKonceptz was able to achieve similar performance to OFC, but without the higher cost. For this exact reason is why our cable is larger, to achieve similar performance, for less money. The graph below shows, based on area, our cable is at least 40% larger than comparable brands. 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. Wire gauge is crucial to powering your system correctly. Undersized cable will create unsafe conditions and may shorten your amplifier's life ) Wire's ampacity changes with gauge and materials. KnuKonceptz does not rate cable based on watts. Bassik RCA Features include: Oxygen Free Copper construction Twisted Pair Geometry for noise rejection Ultra Flex, soft touch PVC allows this cable to fit in tight places Easy channel identification Gold Plated RCA Connectors. 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), three aught (000) and so on. Based on AWG, the true gauge of this cable is #3, larger than traditional 4 gauge We've compared several popular 4 gauge amp kits from other manufactures. The above chart displays the manufacture and if they met the minimum area requirement for 4 gauge. All cables tested were labeled as 4 gauge. Area was determined by measuring the diameter of the strand and then calculating the strand count. Several popular brands failed to meet AWG standards (21.1mm2). Others used excessively high fuse ratings on inadequately sized cable. Our water resistant fuse holder now holds a more durable Mini-ANL type fuse. This form factor uses a stamped element that is unfazed by bumps and vibration. Buying the proper gauge wire is critical for your amps longevity. Making sure that kit includes the correct rated fuse is critical to your safety. Too large of a fuse puts your car at risk to hazards if an accident occurs. Fusing too high not only is unsafe in an accident. Oversized fuses on smaller wire creates a hazard of its own. Review the manufacture's included fuse size. 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 (two 30A fuses = 60A total draw) If this number is under 80A, this kit will fit your application. If over 80A, a larger gauge wire would be required or use our Kolossus Flex 4 gauge amp installation kit. Do not use on loads over 100A, for this we recommend the KnuKonceptz Kolossus 4 Gauge amp kit, which uses Oxygen Free Copper.
