home depot or lowes sell 1/0 ? Hmm the problem with 1/0 where am I gonna hide it best to run 2 4's back heh

If lowes does have it, its porbably stiff as hell.

you could prolly find a local welding supply shop that carries the wire.

It really depends on the load going through those cables from the block. But as stated, 1/0 would be the safe bet, 2 gauge may work as well. Most 2 gauge is good for 200A of total current draw. Add up your amps fuse ratings or manufacutre's listed max current draw and that will give you a better idea
