What size welding cable?

[slm9s]

If I have a CAB 1600.1 and a small 2x100 amp for fronts, what size welding cable should I order?

I want to do one run of power cable. Is 0 gauge enough? I want it to be big enough, but don't want it to be huge where it doesn't fit under the trim.

For a small/medium car like a 06 GTO, how many feet should I order for 1 power cable, 2 amp ground cables, and enough for the big 3?

I was thinking of ordering EB flex. Unless there's better stuff for cheaper.

Thanks.

Get the biggest OFC wiring each amp will accept.

As for the big 3, OFC welding cable is the better choice for big 3's.

2/0 welding is basically 1/0 audio.

Get the EB 2/0. Great stuff

Yeah, welding cable is sized different. 2/0 is like 1/0 gauge car audio wire. 1/0 is like 4 gauge car audio wire.

Measure your car to see how much you need, then add a few feet just to be safe. It sucks to order wire and go to install it, only to find that you're a foot short
