KnuKonceptz KCA Complete 4 Gauge Amp Installation Kit

Description

Product Description The KCA Kable (Kolossus Copper Aluminum) is the next generation of our Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) power and ground cables. The new KCA 4 Gauge uses 29.44mm^2 of Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) to transfer current from your battery to amplifier. Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) is made up of 90% Aluminum and 10% Copper. The KCA 4 Gauge Kable used throughout this kit offers incredible flexibility and a rugged PVC outer jacket that is impervious to grease and oil. The PVC outer jacket can withstand extreme temperatures (-40 to 105 C).  How many watts can this amp kit handle? 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. Beware of "1600 Watt" amp kits that include a 50 or 60A fuse. Its physically impossible for these kits to support this load (refer to our comparison photo) 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.   Our Bassik RCA is just that, a straight forward design. 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 the calculated gauge based on area. All cables tested were labeled as 4 gauge. The X axis indicates gauge by area and where each cable's measurement placed itself on the American Wire Gauge scale. Several brands barely reached the required area of 8 gauge. Every KnuKonceptz amp installation kit clearly states these critical specs: Wire type - CCA or OFC 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.   American Wire Gauge Wire gauge is crucial to powering your system correctly. Undersized cable will create unsafe conditions and may shorten your amplifier's life   Max Load (amps) Wire's ampacity changes with gauge and materials. KnuKoncept does not rate cable based on watts. Amplifier manufactures do not always truthfully state the output of their product, check your on board fuses!
