no such thing as too much when it comes to beefing up electrical.

people will say 4/0 cable has less resistance and that is true BUT
you wont see any realistic gains over using 1/0 or even 4 gauge cable for daily listening. seriously unless you're running a 250+ amp alt its a waste of money.
the poorly done "big 3" installs using 1/0 cable don't help as much as well done 4 gauge applications.

whats the diffrence between a poorly done job and a good one, like how can i determain if mine was done good.. its really neat and everything is cleaned up

Me and my dad got a deal of 100+ feet of pure copper 4/0 welding cable for $225 and i dont see what harm it would do to use that.

i would want to upgrade my sound system ALOT more in the future, might as well have this done NOW than have to buy this type of wire at retail...

Use what you have.

[ThatChevyGuy]

Use what you have.

Lamp cords and old christmas light strands minus bulbs.

[juanmgarza26]

whats up with that^^???

[Mitch86]

No harm in using 4/0 welding cable as long as its done properly. Even if you aren't running huge amounts of power, you already have the wire..go for it

[btsteinb]

where did u get that cable. thats dirt cheap.

[juanmgarza26]

One of my dads good friends, he was getting rid of his welder, and me and my dad are welders, so extra cable wouldn't hurt us.
