take a picture of it next a quarter so people can look at the diameter and compare to see if it's actually comparable to 2awg wires

just make sure the jacket inst really thick and it will work the same as any wire

It will work but its probably really stiff.

the advance wire is approximately the same length as the other two, and weight considerably more...

advance 2gauge in the middle of ed 4gauge and knu KLM 1/0

so is it decent wire for 2.00 a foot

doesnt look like a high strand count at all, looks stiff as shit. But looks to be of size.

I am wondering if it is pure copper, because it is extremely heavy

u think itll be ight to use to run between front batt and back batt

If you have a system big enough to warrant a back battery I'd use some good 1/0gauge.

I was wondering about that wire too but they ran out before I could get any.it's actually not too stiff at all. it seemed flexible enough to me. It will work, and the price isnt bad... I'll probably get some for my next install since I get a discount.

compared to other "power wire", the advance stuff is very stiff
