Where can I get 0 gauge wire for a good price?

for the price you could get 3 rolls of that for 150 ft and double up here and there..

just remember you get what you pay for.. there is a reason that wire is the price it is.. if it were a blowout sale it wouldn't be there as long as it has been.. Copper is expensive.. I know I tried to order wire direct...

 
For the price of CCA vs. OFC from a place like Knu, you can get double the length of CCA than you can OFC for the same price, and the CCA will handle around 200A total more than the OFC will. How much power are you running? If you are running under 3k CCA will be fine

 
Aluminum only has 62% of the electrical conductivity of copper. Using cca you're going to have higher resistance, more voltage drop & possibly corrosion problems. Sure some people use cca & it works fine for them, but especially for a higher end system I'd just use quality ofc. Quality stuff is more expensive, can't really get arround it.

 
Wow, I guess I really do have to spend money on wires. I was just trying to save some money to get the new ho alternator in and some extra batteries for the back. Im running my sundown saz-3500d and planning to run a second one sometime soon as well. Im trying to keep the voltage drop at a minimal. So the best thing would be 100% oxygen free copper only? What about welding wire like the person stated above?

 
DO NOT use CCA wire under the hood. Exposed to the elements and acid and etc it will corrode in no time. I use either straight alum wire or straight copper. Whenever 2 different metals are present the possibility of corrosion goes way up.

 
I would pick up some Welding Cable. I really wanted to go the CCA route too, but after all the positives of Welding Cable, I am going to spend the money on it. The best I found was $135 for a 50 foot spool.
