Get the 2/0 from Acdc welding supplies in Rochester MI. It should be 2.45/ft, shipping should be cheap and it will be quick.

what does CCI mean? Copper clad something? I'm confused because it doesn't say OFC anywhere

nvm it says it in the specs

looks like you can get it on ebay too

ALL UL listed welding wire is 100% OFC power wire. I run nothing but welding cable in all my builds. NEVER had an issue with it. 2/0 and 4/0 welding and Locomotive power wire all the way for power, and I run Monster wire 8ga silver tinned ofc 8ga for speakers.

And CCI is the abbreviated name for Coleman Cable ...
