Our take on the StreetWires Ultra Flow 4-gauge Power Cable

by Ken Nail

Don't spend big bucks on a premium amplifier and then choke off its power supply with low-grade power cable. StreetWires Ultra Flow 4-gauge cable contains pure oxygen-free copper to provide maximum current flow from your battery to your amp. The tough jacket withstands heat and resists damage from abrasion, battery acid, and gas. Super flexible design allows tight radius bends.

StreetWires Ultra Flow 4-gauge Power Cable

Written By Mike, New Jersey on Wednesday, August 25, 2010

Great product for the price, but the cable itself is actually pretty short. I
know you are not supposed to set up the capacitor too far from the amp, but if
you screw up, you have not much wire to work with. Also take note that this wire
does not come ready to hook up to anything, its just the wire. You need to buy
the terminals yourself, especially if you plan on using it as a ground wire.
Overall great product.
