1sickpuppy Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks for the info guys I'll give Audio Innovations a call. I have no problem doing my own installs. I just don't have the tools to cut very large gauge wire and solder the terminals in. And yes this was a poor attempt to see if I'm not going to get ripped off or not. Thanks again for the input guys.

KillaCam Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Probably get charged $5 - $7 per foot for wire, probably take anywhere from 10 - 20 feet for the big 3 depending on vehicle. Then probably $50 for labor + tax. Where you located? Wow that much for 1/0awg wire from a shop? Better be full copper haha @op you're probably better off ordering the wire online then taking it to the shop Quote And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..

C-Fizzy Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 When I was a n00b, I went to a shop and paid $8 a foot for stinger hpm 1/0 for my big3. But now that I'm a little more edumacated, I just found a deal on 100ft of pure copper 1/0 for 225 shipped. FTW.

matt14 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 9+ per foot is what I was quoted for r.f.1/0 from a stereo shop. Other shops said that 1/0 was overkill and 4g is suitable for any build. You could always buy the cable yourself and hit someone up on here to see if they could.do it for you end pay them.

RooTxBeeR Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 1/0 gauge is overkill unless your doing atleast over 1K+ watts. If anything under I would say 2 awg would be fine.

Paul M Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Weird... I was thinking of doing this as well.. 0AWG is expensive as SHITE here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homiewes Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) you can get like 15 feet of 0 guage for 20 bucks.. and then just solder some ends on, run one from your alt to your batt, and run a few extra grounds off your batt. pretty easy, i wouldnt ever pay someone to do that.
