Im not getting the whole 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, ect. I think the first number is the number of runs in the wire and the 0 is the guage of each run? Any light on what i'm seeing?

whats the biggest car audio wire you can buy? and howcome people use 1/0 awg if there is bigger out there?

The bigger wire is harder to work with. When people need more they use more than 1 run of 0 ga.

1/0

= 0 gauge

= 1 aught

2/0

= 00 gauge

= 2 aught (double aught)

3/0

= 000 gauge

= 3 aught (tripple aught)

and so on.. I know it goes to at least 6/0 under the AWG.. It might go higher but be labeled different but I know there is thicker then 6/0.

Its just a measure of the thickness I think.

Aught is just another word for zero.
