Actually I checked out that wire yesterday and it's going to make me have a good long talk with Staub about pricing. The wire that Wally World is selling is Scosche EFX2.

</font>[/QUOTE]Most people won't notice the difference. As long as it IS 4G (I've head of 4g kits coming with wire that is more like 8g with a big sleeve)

Keep talking down to people though, it's cool! Makes them feel all nice inside. [img]graemlins/2xblown.gif[/img]

Well I tend to disagree. Copper may be copper but one companies version of 4ga may not be the same as anothers.

For instance in this pic (sorry about the quality) on the far left is AudioPipe 12ga speaker wire, to the right of it is Knukonceptz 12ga. On the right side (in the middle) we have AudioPipe 4ga power wire, to the right of that 4ga Knukonceptz power wire.

casino greek, think of it like this. you've got a nice car would you buy the cheapest spark plug wires and just assume they are all the same? its the same thing with your amp its great quality so why cheap out and possibly restrict its performance?
dont buy audio gear at walmart, would you buy performance car parts there?
