Cool Stinger A "Quality" Brand?

I'm seeing some of the prices on these Stinger products ... specifically caps and wiring ... is it warranted? Would you say that the 8 Gauge, 4 Gauge or even 0 Gauge wiring by Stinger is trustworthy? What about all these caps they sell?

Ex. 0 Gauge is $299.99 at Future Shop. If someone was to ever put out that kind of money, they would be expecting quality. I don't want to later hear "Well this wire is BETTER" ...

That's why I'm asking. Just want an idea of what's out there.
Thanks.

I've used the good Oga. stinger stuff. I liked it works well nice fuse holder not missing any critical pieces, however the Oga kit does not have rca's. It's also very,very flexible

i would stay with copper alot more than copper clad.

copper clad sux . not as flexible and will break some strands as soon as you bend it. AND it has more resistance than copper wire

I have about 200 or so feet of Knu KLMX and have been using it in the winter to hang my clothes outside. It is flexible enough to tie tite knots and have not broken any of it, even in -40. The only downside is it amperage rating is alittle lower then copper, and if you are that worried you could buy three runs of it for the price of one run of any other brand and have a hell of a lot better conductivity.
