I can get 1/0 at the local pawn shop for about $2.00 or $3.00 a foot. Or I can get some mill spec 2/0 for about $12 a yard from work (has an extra thick isolation for Afghanistan or desert environments.) I would have to run that behind my outside trim though. And I'm not running that high powered of an application to really even think about needing 2/0.

That is a lot of wire friend //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

DANG! This one build the R&D manager did when we were more into audio power had 6/0. Said he had to park a car on each end for 3 days to get it to stay straight.... What do you even need that thick of wire for really. LOL.

Its needed for 60k watt rms and up systems. Same with five 350 amp alts, 1000+ amp hours of batteries etc.. You underestimate how many people go balls deep into this.

Story I got behind that was the lady built it for her young son who was into car audio. He got to meet like a SPL award winner or something like that. in magazines and stuff. And the guy was a complete A-hole. The lady was extremely wealthy and built it to blow the guy out of the water. She came to us (HO Alternator at the time) and said she had and unlimited amount of money and to put the most power we could under the hood. That's what she got.

Sorry for taking over the thread. I'm done
