Default who makes the best wires?

So, my brother is being generous and decides to give me a JL w3 with a JL amp, all I have to do is buy wires and install.

My question is who makes the best wires and also are capacitors a waste?

yes caps are a waste. I am about to sell some really nice rca cables. They are stinger HPX cable and are techflexed so they look cool and will last well too. If you want them I will make you a deal on them, it is some thick wire....

The only advice I can offer about Knu is if you go with their Copper Clad Aluminum to keep the cost down, get one size bigger than you would actually need had you gone with copper wiring to begin with. For example, if your amp needs 8 gauge wire, get 4 gauge in CCA. I did that for my sister's vehicle because she was trying to keep the costs down and it seems to have worked out fine in her install.

there is no reason to double the size of the wire just because it is CCA wire. unless you are getting up to a high-end/high-power system it might make a small diff but for the majority of people it is fine.
