All welding wire the same?

[jdmdikk 10+ year member]

So my cousin has found me a great deal on some welding wire at his job. They are selling me a 50ft roll of 1/0 welding wire for $40.yea I know,dirt cheap //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I just want to make sure that I can use the 1/0 welding wire before making my purchase. Is there anything specific that I should look for or all welding 1/0 wire will work perfectly fine for my car audio equipment. Sorry if it's a noob question but I just want to be certain.thanks

It should be fine but if its that cheap it might be Stiff. Welding wire usually has a much tougher, stiffer outer layer that it can be a pain to use in car audio. But 1/0 cable is fine.

Ok thanks. He said that it seems flexible. I will look at it before buying. So all 1/0 welding wire is full copper?

It is either excelene or flexaprene.......both are copper. Both are pretty flexible for what they are. At $40 a roll.....I'd grab a couple. You cant buy it for less than a couple bucks a foot at any stores new.

Yea I bought it.they only had the 50ft roll and no more. It's like it was meant to be mines lol. Cant go wrong for 50ft for $40. And he brought me about 18 ring terminals as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif here is a picture on how flexible it is

Thanks guys. I have 1/0 car audio wire but I was unsure if it's Cca or Ofc so I didn't even want to use it.
