Quality = Performance

KICKER uses only 100-percent, full AWG spec, oxygen-free copper (OFC) in its wire products. OFC provides incredible wire flexibility, high corrosion resistance, and low internal resistance for max power transfer.

Due to the rising cost of copper, some manufacturers use cheaply made, copper-clad aluminum (CCA) as a wire replacement in its accessories line of products. You pay less at the register, but disadvantages include higher internal resistance, lower wire flexibility and lower corrosion resistance. So you’ll pay more later with an inefficient audio system. Another money-saving tactic is to decrease the amount of actual copper strands inside and compensate with a thicker, outer PVC jacket. This results in similar poor performance, limiting the current to your amp and robbing you of the wattage you paid for – sometimes reducing amp output as much as 20 percent!
