Big name brand 0 gauge wire $5-6 a foot ( i have in my little car)

weldingsupply.com 1/0 Ultraflex Orange welding cable $2.79 a ft

I bought the welding supply stuff for my race car and did a comparison

...for the price and size I will never go back to audio power wire again

waste of money plus this welding cable is even more flexable than the audio stuff...unbelievable.If you wanted to get fancy you could add on some

TechFlex sleaving I have been seeing around which is even more *****in looking

- 1/0 is over kill for most systems but not so much the 4 and 1 gauge is plenty

I was looking at eD wire and his was asking for 6.00 a for 1/0 Tsunami.....KNU 1/0 is 3.25 which isnt bad at all and ill take KNU over Tsunami all day long.....The 0GA wire I use for comparison was called VooDoo Hex wire.....Perhaps I was hasty thinking VooDOo was any good LOL.....Unfortunatly I dont have a peice of KNU 1/0 to compare to my orange wire

Either way WeldingSupply's Ultrflex Orange wire is really beefy and cheap

1/0 Tsunami doesn't look much bigger than their 4gauge.
