Anyone have a source on decent OFC 1/0 that isn't expensive?

[Firewalker]

I need to pick some up and seems prices have increased since the last time I purchased any. So does anyone have a source for 1/0 OFC for a decent price? All I need is 15-20 feet of it for an install for a friend.

I've been using the orange "ultra flex" from weldingsupply.com for probably 15 years now and I really like it for the money. Real copper, American made, and decently flexible.

Knukoncepts is the cheapest I know of. Not exactly cheap though. Or just use 2/0 Royal Excelene welding cable. It's not OFC, but it's pure copper. Hope that helps

Knukonceptz is still the same price. Not cheap but great wire. They have a budget CCA line as well. I love EB flex but shipping is crazy unless you spend over $250 for free freight shipping which is what I have done twice ordering from them.

I really like Knukonceptz, it's not cheap though. I used audiopipe zero gauge in my explorer and it was legit zero gauge. Wasn't oversized, but really seemed like zero gauge. Idk if it's still the same now, but it was like $1.50-$2.00 per foot.

I have a 25ft roll of KnuKonceptz in the CCA but need OFC because of the amplifiers he wants to run since the CCA is only rated at 200 amps they claim. At this point welding cable or car audio 1/0 OFC will work just w/e is cheapest. I've used Welding cable in the past, when I worked at Mack I got a 50 foot roll of it for free in 1/0 but that is long gone, stuff worked great.

FYI he wants to run a 3K Taramps and a 4 channel amplifier as well so figured OFC would be a safer bet then something that is only rated for 200 amps like the KnuKonceptz I have sitting in the basement. He has his big 3 done in 1/0 OFC already but that was ages ago and has none left over and a alternator upgrade to his Trailblazer. But told him I would help with the install since I have all the crimping tools, connectors, ferrules and tool so he doesn't have to buy all of that stuff

Do you guys thing that KnuKonceptz I have in the CCA would be good enough or should I have him order the welding wire or OFC 1/0 for his setup?
