[Wragold 10+ year member]

Im looking for 1/0awg wire for use in the Big 3 for my truck. Im going to need about 13 feet. Theres a store locally thats sells 1/0 Monster Cable for $3.75 a foot. Then i could also order 1/0 Kolossus Kable for $3.25 a foot. if I order it locally its going to cost $48.75, and if I Order online Its going to be $50.24. Idk the thread count on the monster cable so thats why im asking which one to get.

I would keep your eyes open on this site if you dont need it asap. There is usually some good deals floating around on used 1/0 that would be good for the big 3.

does it matter if you use car audio 1/0 or is welding wire just as good for the big 3? which would give best results?

monster cable is crap.. It has a Magnetic flux tube in it.. which means its half a piece of plastic like dude said.. from the 0/1 to the 16ga speaker wire.. I would just grab welding wire..or some off the classifieds or This

I think i might go with this. http://hifiaudioonline.com/inc/sdetail/1952

its $30 and its free shipping. at the local shop they did have welding wire but i didnt check the price of it. They had to order more 1/0 awg wire any ways so in a week ill go back and check out the price of there other wire and other car audio items.

I would say to support your local shop but if they dont have what you want I guess it's a mute point. :\

I believe a couple members here have ordered that, but found out its closer to 4awg then 1/0 awg!
