I have some of this stuff at work to, marine electrical. Its very impractical, it takes two people to bend it into holes its supposed to go. I dont know the exact size but its about as big around as a tennis ball. It would be cheaper to buy a distro block and 20 runs of 1/0 than one run of this stuff. Low strand count = hard as shit to use

Everythings in the attic or garage since the truck was sold last year. New build should be coming soon in a dodge cummins smile.gif

1/0 gauge is good for close to 300 amps, even though I was just using that number as an example.

1/0 gauge for $50/ft?

And the lugs you linked are made to order.

It just isn't practical to use in a car environment. And what do you consider long runs? Most people won't use more than 30ft in a car.

And how do you guys know how expensive 2000 mcm is? Or even 750? It would be a better bang for the buck than 1/0 at $50/ ft.

To clarify - I only say that because I use high end hardware. I generally avoid 'car audio brands' because ALL lugs, fuse holders, terminal connectors, and blocks from these companies I have used rust out quickly in my climate.

I would love to see just one of your builds with this wire. And where the hell do you buy your 1/0 @ $50/ft? If you pay that much your an idiot.

If your going to use that non bendable wire why not just use solid copper stock plasti dipped....an run it under car... I remember a thread like this.... 1/0 is ease of inalstallation... an I rather have my voltage -amperage.carried by multiple conductors....

I just found a cool place, they do big as wire. They have one of those like 4 picture slide show thing at the top of their page, if you go to the third pic it would be cool to run in a car...

Gonna put the pic in here in a sec.

i agree, 1/0 is more practical and alot easier in most situations to run.

car audio 0/1 is almost equivalent to 2/0. it barely fits in 2/0 copper lugs.

1/0 wire also will fit fuse holders without any additional modifications.

that 9/0 wire would need a special fuse as well made if you are really pulling all that current through one wire.

if the wire is $50/foot, 9/0, knu wire would still cost less total per foot and rated more combined. plus no need to wait for special lugs, fuse holder and fuses.

oh and dc98, you could also just electrical tape the solid copper haha
