    Larger wire with a thinner jacket than bullz audio. Much more for your money, and the more wire, the better (to a point). It's on par with Kicker, RF, Shok, etc. Also a higher strand count depending on which line you choose, which only allows more flexibility in the wire. For a modest setup, you'll be fine with the CCA wire, which is copper clad aluminum. I'd go ahead and run 1\0 OFC and be done with it personally, but the 1\0 CCA kit will more than meet your needs, and support future expansion via a distribution block should you decide to add a 4 channel. If you're just going to be done after subs, the 4awg kit will do fine.

    Make sure you have the right set up too. What ohms is your subs? What amp do you have? If you have a 1000w mono block 1ohm stable and have two 2 ohm kickers, chances are you'll eff something up if your wiring them in sequence. Also, sometimes the bigger the wire isn't always better. I have a top quality 4 gauge kit and it has some better ratings than cheaper 0 gauge, but each to their own.

    That would apply to my mentioning OFC vs CCA and recommending knu over Bullz Audio. No worries of inferior quality.

    Well managed to get it all set up, and I must say, it looks pretty damn near professional. Thanks to all who helped
