[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8781183, member: 591582"] I got lucky with my build back in the day. I got 100 feet of Audiopipe 0 gauge OFC for $1.50 a foot from working for/with a dealer. That wire was legit. It wasn't oversized, but it did seem like legit 0 gauge. Had 4 runs of it and legit as f 4/0 welding cable all on the alt. That welding cable was not easy to work with, whatsoever. Nothing about it was easy, besides the fact it stays in whatever shape it's in, so it's not going to move around much like a high thread count wire with flexible rubber. I only think wire quality is going to matter on the more extreme ends of the spectrum. I'd rather run a bunch of CCA for a cheaper price and wind up with less resistance to the back than pay way too much for OFC and barely get any amperage flow from it. I think wire diameter is largely what matters, regardless of anything else. [/QUOTE]
