Good hook-up / power wire, 20AWG - 12AWG?
I used up the last of my stash, and I'm looking for another source for some good, smaller gauge stuff.
I had 500' rolls of 18AWG made by Magnadyne, but there is no way I can find this stuff again.
Most of the stuff I found is crap; I ordered some generic wire from Parts Express, but it wasn't as fine-stranded and pretty damn stiff!
The Magnadyne stuff was pretty damn flexible and very fine-stranded.
I'm willing to pay the money for better quality, but it's hard to "see" how flexible the wires is from online pics. :P
I think the market is flooded with a lot of Asian off-brand stuff that's really poor quality.
Anyone know of a good source for good, quality wire in the thinner gauges?

I buy all my wire from here.

I think the TXL wire is the same wire that Painless Performance sells without the packaging or the price; very high-quality. I've used it for everything from car stereo to gauges in my RX7 and other vehicles (also to hard-wire power for an XM receiver in my Mom's Tahoe). I've also used it to relocate an O2 sensor when I installed my RB header and I've had no problems with heat.
18-12 gauge for TXL; 20 gauge isn't available though.
