The "Real" Mon-Star Speaker Wires ...
Dang, I just received my speaker wire order from KnuKonceptz, and all I can say is WOW. This is 12 gauge, twisted in a solid molded jacket (eliminates noise and interference) -and is the most solid speaker wire I ever saw. Picture shows it next to 14 gauge Monster wire - so sad (the Monster spool there is up for grabs, just pay me the shipping).
The Knu seems thicker than the 12 to 14 gauge difference, and did I mention that it was twisted in a solid jacket? Also shown is the protective wire pants from Knu, and they fit nice & snug ... So now I can start my Mon-Star install starting tomorrow ...

the only thing monster about monster cable is the price...amazing how much better stuff you can get cheaper when they dont have to cover tons of marketing and pretty packaging costs
the knu 0 gauge power cables are insane as well something like 5100 strand count i think

Does it have smaller conductors braided around the outside of a larger center section stranded braid/twist?
Look up "skinning effect". High freqs travel on the outside and lows up the center.
This kind of stuff is pretty esoteric and usually a bunch of BS, but I actually heard it demo'd years ago in a recording studio.
Of course I could hear with a bit more definition in those days and it's probably silly for car audio considerations, unless you park in an anechoic chamber.

Supposedly, the twisted pairs minimize noise in the signal. This 12 gauge's strands are all the same through each leg, I'm not going to count the strands, but it's a bunch ...

Thanks for the heads up. Good stuff.
Maybe overkill but it will make me feel better to know that I have very good 'stuff'.

are they actually copper or are they copper clad aluminum?
Noise isn't an issue with speaker wire.
twisted pair means more than wires wrapped together - despite what car audio companies would have you believe.

Karma 12 Gauge Speaker Cable - Eliminate bad vibes to your speakers with Karma SS Kable from KnuKonceptz. These Tinned Oxygen Free Copper speaker cables provide superior resistance to noise compared to conventional speaker wire. The wire actually will repel noise due to its twisted construction. Each conductor is composed of 294 strands of the finest copper for superb audio accuracy and flexibility. Each strand has been tinned. The tin contributes to a better sound quality by minimizing the skin-effect (lowering the current jumps between the wire surfaces).
