I should have put some different types of 0ga amp wire in there as well. As you can tell, the purplish 2ga Tiff wire is almost as big as the 0ga welding wire and the 0ga Lighting Audio wire is actually just as big as the 2/0ga welding wire. I also had 0ga streetwires and 0ga MTX wire at the time I took this photo. The 0ga MTX wire was the smallest out of all the 0ga amp wire (basically the same size as the 0ga welding wire) and then the 0ga Streetwires was just in between the 0ga welding wire and 0ga Lighting Audio wire (guess a happy medium). The only thing I did not like about the 0ga Lighting Audio wire was that it was almost impossible to insert it into a standard 0ga crimp ring, I had to use their 0ga crimp rings. I also think that 2ga Tiff wire is actually thicker than most 2ga amp wire. I now have some 2ga welding wire that I compared it to (it is thicker than the 2ga welding wire) and as already stated, almost as thick as the 0ga welding wire.A few things I like about the welding wire is that it is very flexible, I think every more so than the amp wire (it is easy to route). It also has a tuff/ durable outer cover (has to be, because it gets dragged on the ground, stepped on and ect.,) and has another protective inner liner as well. I may take another photo w/ a couple more different types of 0ga amp wire to compare the differences.</blockquote>
