Ive seen people use 0 guage wleding wire for the big 3 and my question is can you use it for amp power? How flexable is it and is the silicone coating on the outside thick enuff to prevent interference... thanks..

Yes. Very flexible if you get the right stuff, and yes. I'm upgrading to 4/0 wire shortly.

Most welding wire ive seen/used isnt very flexible. I guess some is tho?

True. The stuff I have though is just as flexible as it needs to be. I won't be making any sharp turns anyways. I could if I wanted to though. The conductor core on this stuff is as thick as most 0 gauge wires are with their insulation on that I've seen!!!!

for a while the weldingsupply.com wire achieved celebrity status on this forum. I guess it's passed, but a lot of people were really happy with it.

idk what you people use, but welding wire is the most flexible wire i have ever used. i've used knu, rockford, lightining, stinger, and memphis wire and neither were as flexible as welding wire
