The Talon SRX and Victor SP motor controllers use "wet noodle wire", this is 12GA but in most cases a 45 amp Powerpole connector is required to crimp it because of the nature of the strands and the size.
I strongly recommend the use of powerpoles, it certainly makes everything a lot easier.
I really like the Tri-crimp tool, it definitely makes crimping the Powerpoles easy
