Product Description

8 gauge power ground wire

  • 25-FEET (7.62m) [ RED 8 GAUGE POWER/GROUND WIRE ] - The lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire. Thicker wire presents less resistance to current flow.C
  • OPPER CLAD ALUMINUM (CCA) - CCA wiring provides a good conductor for power transfer. This is the most economical option when choosing power or ground wire. Systems that require more power should consider OFC wiring.R
  • UGGED PVC JACKET - Allows free, wide and seamless adjustment of the required physical properties of this wire such as flexibility, elasticity, and impact resistance.E
  • ASY POLARITY IDENTIFICATION - This two color jacket allows for easy polarity identification. Making a polarity mistake could be damaging to your audio equipment.S
  • OFT TOUCH JACKET - The jacket on our cable is designed with the installer in mind. The flexibility of this jacket allows for easy routing and has a low memory.

I've been installing car audio systems for years, and this 4 gauge power/ground wire has proven to be reliable. The copper clad aluminum (CCA) material offers decent conductivity at a more affordable price compared to pure copper, which is great for most setups without compromising performance.The rugged PVC jacket stands out for its flexibility and durability. It's tough enough to handle the usual wear and tear while being easy to route through tight spaces. The two-color jacket for easy polarity identification is a practical feature that helps avoid potentially damaging mistakes during installation.One of my favorite aspects is the soft touch jacket. It’s flexible and doesn’t retain kinks, which makes the installation process smoother. While this wire might not be the premium option, it certainly delivers on performance and ease of use, making it a solid choice for any car audio installation.

Good cable and good quality. Very flexible, to flexible for me, depend on what you want. Very good cable for speaker because has many thin wires that are good for AC and frequency cables like speakers, DC curent do not need multi wires because has no frequency because is direct current. I needed DC cable but it is single wire and it is rigid and break easy so I decided on this one to avoid those issues and it was cheeper too. DC current is not affectedby the wire.

This wire actually exceeded my expectations, it is very soft flexible and seemingly durable and carries the current very well. We use it to power the aircraft that we work on via a 13.8 VDC TekPower switching power supply capable of 50 amps. So far we have used this wire to a capacity of about 15 -20 amps maybe a little more at times and it didn't even get warm. We are using the full 25 foot run of both the black and red for this set up (see the attached picture). The voltage drop across the full 25 foot run is surprisingly lower than what I thought it would be under a full load.... at an approx 16 amp draw the actual voltage drop across the wire was less than a volt, (like around .7 - .8 tenths voltage drop). We have only been using this now for about a month so I can't say how durable the wire will be over the long haul but so far it has done very well for the minor abuse we put it thru. The attached picture is current to date and we have used this on many multiple airplanes so far. Over all a very good purchase, I would recommend this to anyone needing a heavy wire to carry heavy current loads. Also we soldered our connectors at both ends to minimize any further voltage drop and the wire worked very well with the solder. Very Happy with this purchase! On another note..... I would most likely not use this wire for any type of welding gear as it is not pure copper wire, just my thoughts. I will update this post if anything about the wire changes, durability etc.

Im running a Soundqubed HDS3.1 15" rated 2400WMax/1200WRMS. I was originally pushing it w/an Orion Cobalt 2500.1D that's rated 1200RMS@1ohm which is how it's wired. I started w/ KnuKoncepts Kollosus OFC 4ga wire which, although I'm a fan of KnuKoncepts, it seemed like my Sub was under powered. After a clamp test I found I was, AT BEST, getting low 700's. I figured that, w/Cobalt bein Orion's budget brand of Amps, that my 2500.1D was most likely over rated but it had an internal Fuse rating of 120amps which take fuse rating X's voltage output, so conservatively let's say 12V, which my car always makes 13.9v when on, but at 12v that still comes to 1440 so I figured it must be under powered from lack of sufficient gauged 12v+ & gnd wire. Due to insufficient funds I made due w/ what I had but after 7mos my 2500.1D stopped workin correctly, began kickin in & out of protection mode & sounded terrible whenever it wasn't in protection mode. I discovered this meant it was shot so I stepped up to the Cobalt 3500.1D but after just a month this Amp began the same problem. So I decided to try this 1/0 wire in hopes that this would stop the failures I kept having w/ my Cobalts, even though it's CCA rather than OFC & I've always been a believer in OFC or nothing, but anyone who knows wire prices knows the significant difference in price for 20' of 1/0ga OFC compared to CCA wire. I finally got it installed, haven't got it hooked to a properly sized Amp for my sub since my Cobalts both shot craps already but the Power Acoustiks RZR Amp I'm temporarily using, til I can afford a larger amp again, seems to be happy with the power it's receiving from this wire. It's very flexible for 1/0ga CCA wire I was pleasantly surprised, made running it through my engine compartment & firewall easier than I had expected it to be. Although I haven't measured officially it appears to be legit or very close to correct gauge. It's wrapped in thick insulation but doesn't seem to be a(use insulation to make up for insufficient wire) situation to make 2gauge appear to be 1/0ga. It's definitely worth every penny of what it costs considering what you get & what you pay. Happy enough to buy again definitely regardless of it not being OFC. Thanks for the great wire @ an amazing price!

First of I want to thank you for the very quick shippingThis wire is perfect for rewiring your cars audio it's also great for a lot of things the quality of the wire is perfect the casing is very easy to bend so it makes it easier to snake it into places that a hard cover wire I highly recommend it to anyone and just so you understand better I'm a very big gear head so I will only use the very best products

This cable is well constructed, consistent and easy to work with. I replaced 10 gauge wire with this cabling and picked up 6% amperage gain.

True 4 gauge, good flexibility, nice insulation .Cable was nice to work with and it handles an 80 amp current draw without issue in your typical 10 to 12 foot runs.The cable is copper clad aluminum so it has higher resistance than 100% oxygen free copper, but with the price of everything these days you gotta look for places to save money and you can safely save a few bucks with this cable, it will safely handle up to a 1000 watts in the typical battery to trunk cable distance and it is nice to work with.Did you know that a cables current handling ability is directly related to its length?. The resistance of a cable increases with length so longer runs of wire have higher resistance, resulting in heat and voltage drop so thicker cable is used to compensate..This all means that you don't need to run super thick wires right to the input of your amp terminals, you just run the thick main power wire to the area where the amps are, then connect to a distribution block,, you can then run a smaller wire from the distribution block to your amps. The same is true for the ground . Running zero gauge pure copper wire for everything is not really necessary unless you are running a seriously high power system that requires extra batteries and bigger alternators.

It's wire. It was the correct gauge and length. Worked will for my RV inverter install.
