You can get a good enough deal with Knukonceptz, just by buying from their website.
Things to look for that tell a good wire from a mediocre wire:
- Whether it's OFC (Oxygen Free) This can ensure Longevity of the wire being in a car environment.
- Strand amount. I prefer a high strand count because it's easier on the fingers and thumb when you have to twist it to fit a block or power/ground input, it is more flexible which is handy for car setups. The third reason I'm not going to have disputes over, but since electrons flow easiest on the outside of the strand/wire, more strands would theoretically allow higher flow.
- Shielding. It's always good to have about 1/8" sheilding around power wire. You'll also notice that most speaker wire shielding is thicker than home wire. Hope this helps.

Ah, so it would be subjective only to RCA and speaker output wire, and not power/ground. "decades above audio frequencies" baahahahahahaha.
Still, a nice flexible 0 gauge never hurt anyone. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I use RAPCO speaker cable in my car. It isnt too expensive and the cable has four seperate cables (13awg each) inside what looks like a single 4 awg jacket. I use CARDAS for my home system. If you want to hear wire make an positive differance, listen to CARDAS. And it wont turn green like i have seen some cables do.
