ya good prices and probably all of what you need to wire up your system should be on there site.

If I didn't have access to free welding cable, knu is the first place I'd go. Seems to be very cheap, and high quality

you could probly put a powermaster d2400 under your hood and you wont need battery terminals. or get like $3 ones from a parts store

$3 1/0 gauge batter terminals?

so basically all i have to do is call knu and theyll tell me what i need

the terminals at a parts store just have 2 wing nuts on them and you put a ring on the wire.

I just made an order off knu last night. I've looked at other stores for car wire, and knu has the best for the lowest. Before you order, make 100% sure you know what lengths you need, and add a couple feet. Also, make sure you leave room for a possible battery in back, depending on your amp setup and current draw.

how many feet on average do u need to do the big 3?

I took spare speaker wire and did a mock "big 3". I made sure to figure in the size of the 1/0 and its flexibility. Then I just measured the speaker wire I used, and tacked on 6 inches per run of wire, for stripping/just in case.

Do exactly as he did. You can use any type of string, rope or wire. Just do a mock up run and measure the lengths you came up with and add 4-6in to each length.
