KnuKonceptz amp kits: Pure copper? Does it matter?

I am interested in the Kolak44 for about half the price of what my local dealer wants to charge me for a monster kit. However, I've been told there is a huge difference between copper and aluminum wire, and that cheaper kits often use sub-par aluminum.

How true is this, and if it is true, which material does the Kolak44 use? I've seen KnuKonceptz mentioned a lot here in this forum, thanks!

    Copper is supposed to conduct better but basically power wire is power wire. Go with the Knu wire. It is as good as any of the other major brands.

    KnuKonceptz uses Oxygen Free Copper wire. Can't get any better than that. Definitely equal to monster, stinger, or any other big brand. They also have a very high strand count, so their wires are very flexible and easy to install. Don't know why anyone would want to buy anything else...

    The RCA's that come with that kit are good, but nothing special. I use them, and they sound great. You might want to get the Krystal Kables if you're looking for amazing sound. For the quality of cables those are, they could easily charge 4 times what they do.
