Just out of curiosity, why would you recommend that opposed to just 4ga copper stereo wire? The stuff that they sell in amp kits. KnuKoncepts has amazing wire for an amazing (cheap) price. Its great stuff.
quite simple.
tefzel (Dupont trademark, generic = ETFE) is self extenguishing if it ever catches fire.
Tefzel is rated at 150 degree celsius for CONTINOUS use. That is a whopping 302 degree fahrenheit. Hence why they can use a smaller gauge for the same amount of current. Also is why aircraft use this wiring.
Tefzel smokes minimally when it catches fire.
Spec55 is almost the same as tefzel except it has a higher operating temprature. Both (Tefzel and spec 55) meet and exceed MIL-W-22759/16 and MIL-W-22759/18. Spec 55 wiring is good to 200 degree celcius (392 degree fahrenhiet).
Very flexible. Very light. All the f-1 teams use this wiring.

I've been slowly rebuilding all of my wiring in Tefzel.
Been getting mine here:

If anyone's got better prices, let us know

their prices are very inexpensive. I looked at them initially. Good prices and TONS of color. If you can not build a harness with all the colors they have. Then you got to learn how to make a harness
their 4 gauge tefzel wiring is good stuff. And so is their 2 gauge
as always it is cheaper when you buy by the spool (300m). But to have ALL those colors cost an arm and a leg and most places only stock white. To get color wiring requires minimum order of 5000+ feet.

forgot to add
these guys sell tefzel also in A LOT more colors

Very good for building color coded harnesses.

Figgie, appreciate the link!
Can never have too many choices I'm just needing to decide if I want to stay with the TEC-2 system, or go with a MSII system.
