ok, so i was looking online and saw some 0 gage wire that was nothing but copper once you cut the insulation off.

I have kicker 0 gage runs in my truck from front to back, and tsunami running from my batts to my amps.

Looks like 4/0 welding wire to me. Just a bunch of strands of copper wire tightly packed.. A solid strand of copper wouldnt have any flexibility.
