welding wire

[gqjeff 10+ year member]

will 1/0 gauge welding wire be as good? Should I look at the strand count or anything? I am going to use it for the big 3.. Possible run it to my rear dis block and then 4 gauge to my amps so what do u all have to say?

i would go with welding cable before CA cable due to prices. yes, compare strand count, wire material (OFC is best), and flexibility

That is called a double post.

To be honest you are better off with a tinned copper wire vs OFC.

this is for Knu Kolossus

Kolossus Kable 1/0 Silver Power Wire features 5145 Tinned Strands of Pure Oxygen Free Copper.

so i'd look for something close to that

1300 watts could I go with 2ga all

Way around instead?

You could go with 4 gauge. 4 gauge is rated to 125a usually. You should be pulling no more than 100a with 1300W RMS.

But if you ever plan on doing any upgrades in the future, stick with the 1/0 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I'm running 1000wrms and am already looking for a 100-150 amp alt and a new battery.

with the 1000/1 and 300/4.. go with 1/0 Big 3, and 1/0 going to your distro block
