[QUOTE="QtrHorse, post: 5721114, member: 567206"] The Coppercableman wire is flexible. I had them send me every size of welding wire they sell for some samples so I could compare it to some of the more popular vehicle audio wire. You can see the difference in size in the picture below. The four pcs of welding wire on the right are from Coppercableman on Ebay. From the right to the left...4/0ga welding...3/0ga welding...2/0ga welding...1/0ga welding...1/0ga Kicker Hyperflex...1/0ga Lightning Audio...1/0ga Knu Kollossus...2/0ga welding...1/0ga welding................The last four pcs of welding wire are from Ebay link and the first two pcs of welding wire are from my local welding supply shop. The only real difference between most vehicle audio wire and welding wire is that the welding wire is not tinned, it has larger individual strands, normally has a inner protective liner (some welding wire uses paper as the inner liner) and the outer cover is not glossy and translucent like most vehicle audio wire. Most of the 1/0ga vehicle audio wire is closer in size to the 2/0ga welding wire. The 1/0ga welding wire is the same size as most cheap vehicle audio wire.
