1/0 wire question...please help.

[07ramjam 10+ year member]

I just got done running all the wiring for my amps but came up a little short on the 1/0 wire.I need like maybe 18-24".The problem is that where I live its not easy to find this wire.I had to special order it and I cant order just 2 feet.My question is this,is there some kind of wire that would be equivalent that I could buy at Lowes or Home Depot?It would be temporary but for right now I just want to finish this up.

Thanks

post up in the WANTED section, im sure theres a ton of people on here with 1/0 wire to sell you...or go to a local welders supply store and grab some welding cable...you may have a hard time getting that in 2' pieces too, id say your best bet is in the WTB section

no local CA shops in your area? Will likely rip you off but it is only 2 feet.

u can also maybe use 4/0 jumper cables and double them up. Or go to an auto parts store and see if they have any truck/forklift batt cables that are 1/0. And of course a welders supply place. You got tons of options.
