so, im finally gonna pull the trigger on some 0 gauge royal excelene stuff, but where do you guys get it from?

look at this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Battery-Cable-Pure-Copper-Power-Wire-1-0-or-2-0-Gauge-AWG-Made-in-USA-SAE-J1127-/302318840814?var=&hash=item46639b6bee:m:mo00vkt4uNr6P4dSHFmiA8A

that looks pretty decent man! f**king forgot to call ebflex again on fri and i was driving to minneapolis and back for a wedding today, plus im pretty sure they arent open on saturdays (i guess i could actually go look if i wasnt so lazy at 3 am cst)

That’s who I just ordered from.  Great cable and fast shipping.  I emailed so I could get the power cable, ferrules, lugs, and speaker wire in one order. Great to work with and great prices.

You have to call them to order. Ive ordered 150' of 2/0 and 165' of 1/0 and loved it. My buddy bought RE 2/0 wire and it was much smaller than my EB flex 2/0.

Ok, so I just ordered 25' of ebflex 0 gauge, but the lady said that it's not pure ofc. Ebflex is the stuff I want, right?

EB-flex cables are copper alloy C11000

C11000 - also known as Electrolytic-Tough-Pitch (ETP). This is the most common copper. It isuniversal for electrical applications. ETP has a minimum conductivityrating of 100% IACS and is required to be 99.9% pure. It has
0.02% to 0.04% oxygen content (typical). Most ETP sold today will meet
or exceed the 101% IACS specification. As with OF copper, silver (Ag)
content is counted as copper (Cu) for purity purposes

C10100 - also known as Oxygen-Free Electronic (OFE). This is a 99.99%pure copper
with 0.0005% oxygen content. It achieves a minimum 101% IACS
conductivity rating. This copper is finished to a final form in a
carefully regulated, oxygen-free environment. Silver (Ag) is considered
an impurity in the OFE chemical specification. This is also the most
expensive of the three grades listed here.

C10200 - also known as Oxygen-Free (OF). While OF is considered oxygen-free, itsconductivity rating is no better than the more common ETP grade below.It has a 0.001% oxygen content, 99.95% purity and minimum 100% IACSconductivity. For the purposes of purity percentage, silver (Ag) contentis counted as copper (Cu).

soooooooooo, i got the right stuff then? LoL also, should i just order standard 0 gauge lugs for this? i know ill need some heat shrink of differing colors to differentiate between the wires (for my own piece of mind)

Correct. You got 107-PXL? AKA 1/0? Standard 1/0 lugs will fit.

Get my RE wire from ebay, also from ac/dc supply in MI as Kush stated. Ordered from them on multiple occasions.
