Item description

The KCA Power installation kit features 18ft of 1/0 Gauge Battery Power wire and 5ft of 1/0 Gauge ground wire to upgrade your main battery to chassis ground as well as connect your amplifier to chassis. No other company offers that. Your choice of fuse is included with our water resistant ANL Fuse Holder.

This kit is designed to be a base for installation of a large, high current audio system. The KnuKonceptz KCA (Kolossus Copper Aluminum) power/ground cable is a copper clad aluminum (CCA) cable that is oversized based on American Wire Gauge. By oversizing the cable, we can achieve copper like performance at a fraction of the cost.

Rated in Amps, Not Watts: Here at KnuKonceptz, you will not find a random watt rating on our packaging or in a giant font across our images. No, we rate our kits the same way electricians rate the wiring in your home, in amps, by following industry standards.

 

You’re Grounded: We include a healthy amount of ground wire in all our 1/0 kits so that you can add a short battery to chassis ground. When adding a large system, you need to upgrade the factory grounds too!

 

Choose Your Fuse: Your system may need 1/0, but that does not mean it needs a 300A fuse!  Our 1/0 kits include your choice of fuse size! Need help calculating which size you need? See our FAQ!

Oversized vs Other CCA Cable


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 as OFC amp kits, for less money.

Bassik RCA Cable – Simple and Solid


  • Oxygen Free Copper construction.
  • Twisted Pair Geometry for noise rejection.
  • Ultra Flex, soft touch PVC allows this cable to fit in tight places.
  • Simple color coded channel identification.
  • Gold plated RCA connectors

Plain and Simple Specifications


  • 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. KnuKonceptz does not rate cable based on watts. Amplifier manufactures do not always truthfully state the output of their product, check your on board fuses!

True American Wire Gauge (AWG) Products


  • 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 or 2/0), three aught (000 or 3/0) …
  • Based on AWG, the true gauge of this cable is just under 2/0 Specification, making it larger than traditional 1/0 gauge

Copper Clad Aluminum – Best Value


  • Copper is the best conductor, but the price, Oversized CCA is the best value.
  • By Increasing the conductor size, we can offset the conductivity differences while maintaining a lower price.
  • Always follow the manufacture’s max rating on battery cable. Excessive loads will cause more distortion in amplifiers, create more heat and will shorten the life of your electronics
  • Proper termination is crucial for an increased life span. Always check that connections are clean and secure.

 

Frequent questions

  • 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. There are many car audio amplifier manufactures and not all of them represent the output of their product accurately. 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 both of your amp (ex Amp A has three 40A fuses = 120A draw; Amp B has two 30A fuse = 60A Draw; 180A system total draw) If this number is under 250A, this kit will fit your application.

  • How do I determine what size fuses I need for the inline fuse holder?

    Using the information from the answer above, the example system draw totals 180A therefore a 200A fuse is the minimum required and the safest option for the inline fuse holder.

  • Why should I upgrade the car's factory battery to chassis ground under the hood?

    Your vehicle’s wiring was engineered to work with the factory electrical load. By adding a massive current drawing load requiring a heavy 0 gauge power wire, you also need to upgrade the vehicle’s ground wire. This kit includes the appropriate parts to complete this upgrade. The 5′ section of ground should be cut one time (to make two sections). These do not need to be even length, but rather cut to fit your installation’s need. You may only need 18″ to connect the battery to your vehicles chassis. The remaining 0 gauge ground wire is then used to connect the audio amplifier to your car’s chassis.

  • Can I alter this kit in any way before purchasing?

    Our amp kits are made in large batches to reduce cost, which is passed onto you. We can not alter them in any way. Should you need to make alterations, you would have to purchase the items individually from our shopping cart.

  • I need a longer power wire, what can I do?

    The fuse holder does not come installed within the kit’s cable.This allows the installer to place the inline fuse holder in an optimum location during installation. It also allows the installer to extend the power wire 1-3Ft by using the inline fuse holder to add cable to the main run (leaving the 18Ft as one unit and using the FH-20 to “splice” a few feet of wire)
