vetkilr01 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 What I have usually found with welding wire is you need 2/0 to be comparable to 1/0 by say Kicker or a good quality ofc 1/0 gauge cable. But I have never used this brand before, and it doesn't say OFC copper ???
ChevyBoy95 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 It is true 1/0, but you have to remember, car audio wire is bigger than welding by a bit. but you can pay 4 dollars a foot for knu or kicker or pay 2.50 for 100% copper welding cable. Just remember, use lugs instead of ring terminals.

techforce Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 Welding wire will carry a lot of current because the strands are more dense... a 20 ft run of the 0 gauge cable i use is rated to carry about 400-450 amps... the 2/0 gauge will carry 600-650 amps... ** NOTE TO ALL THE HATERS THAT GO AROUND BITCHING THAT I GIVE BAD ADVICE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT I DO ** I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO SAY THAT THIS IS BULLSHIT, THAT WELDING CABLE CANNOT CARRY THAT MUCH CURRENT, WELL BELOW IS THE RATINGS FOR THE CABLE I USE @50 FEET, 20 FEET WOULD BE DRASTICALLY MORE, SO ENJOY AND CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CABLE I USE....

techforce Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 OP, that welding cable you chose does not look that flexible... Plus it does not look like the amperage rating is that good.... the stuff I used in Yu-Kong is here and you can tie it in knots... https://weldingsuppl...OR:terms::PA#A2
