DIRT CHEAP 1/0 awg wire & install accessories

[thugpassion 10+ year member]

i was searching for a less expensive place to buy my ring terminals and came across these 2 sites that sell Metra(tsunami) products dirt cheap. example

1/0awg 25ft - $29

1/0awg ground cable, ANL fuse holder w/ fuse - $9

ANL fuse holder - $4

20pk 1/0awg gold ring terminals - $8

distro blocks $8, HU install harnesses $7, batt terminals $6

the other site is The Twister Group. On either site just search metra or what your looking of and you'll save yourself a boatload.

i have to admit, neither site gives great detail but its CHEAP and by discecting the model numbers you can figure it out.

Im not sure if the wire is the same stuff in our 0 gauge kit but I work at circuit city and the wire in that kit doesnt seem to be too bad.

No, one is just a lot cheaper than the other.

Wire is wire isn't it??? color makes no difference, all that matters is gauge, and maybe strand count. (i think)

Thing is...not all same "gauge" wire is the same.

Some of the cheap-o wire has much smaller diameter of actual copper in it, with a much thicker insulation jacket. So, in my example, while the overall outside diameter is the same...one is actually better than the other.
