[QUOTE="Popwarhomie, post: 8864691, member: 619389"] Knukonceptz 1/0 is rated 375 amps at 20 foot length. Is your alternator producing more than 375 amps? Then no need for 2/0. Car audio wire is oversized compared to standard AWG rating. So welding wire 2/0 will be the same size as MOST car audio 1/0. I have ran EB flex welding wire for many years. Mainly because it's cheaper. These days the price is close to Knukonceptz and I prefer their wire for its flexibility. (Knu 1/0 is $4.75 a foot. EB flex 2/0 is $4.18) I have 1 run of 2/0 EB flex power and ground running to my rear battery. That's more than enough for my 320 amp alternator. All the rest of my wiring is Knukonceptz 1/0.
