[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8864852, member: 689267"] Diameter is almost irrelevant - going from 1/0 to 2/0 only nets you about a 10% increase in diameter, it's the amperage rating that matters. The rated amperage at a given distance for the wire is what you want to look at. I use the stiffer welding OFC for the long runs as the cost difference is substantial, the more flexible KnuKonceptz for the amp plate after the distribution blocks. Aesthetics and ease of use for the inside after the blocks. That ACDC wire is pretty cool, if you need 25ft, you can order the gauge you want and then specify 50ft, split the order for 50/50 black and red. That is if you are running both to the rear and parallel grounding, like Ido in my installs.
