Just out of curiosity, what kind of cable were you looking to buy? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Well, then don't complain about the price //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Visit a local welding shop...they might stock 0awg welding cable, which would be a lot cheaper than the "car audio" alternative.

i went to the local shops today and was quoted 200 bux at place to do 0 gauge install but NO amp install. thats wires/fuse/d-block/all hidden. another said 0 awg would be "overkill" but i insisted for the price and he said around 160-170. 4 gauge was 120 at this place with d-block. what would u guys do? has anyone ripped apart an 05 stan for this install, is there ANYWHERE already drilled i can run 0 gauge through? please help guys

Just run it underneath the car along the frame... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Seriously.

man $200 bucks? That seems a little high to run some 0awg wire.

 

[saywhat? 5,000+ posts]

thats what i was thinkin but that IS including the wire/distro block.....only proble runnin it against the frame is weather/road conditions where im at. and i know i could do it one way or another but its more of a risk than just runnin some wire.

Just get the wire offline. Lots cheaper.
