Sergeant_Skyrim Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Alright, so I tried checking on Audiosavings for some 0 gauge wiring that I'm going to be needing soon. I came across http://www.audiosavings.com/products/Car-Amplifier-Power-Cable/Cadence-0G100-BLACK-0-AWG-Gauge-25-Feet-Amp-Power--Ground-Wire-Car-Audio-Cable/25+FEET+0G100-BLACK.aspx and it doesn't seem like it's 100% OFC 0 gauge wire like I'm looking for. I'm just trying to save as much money as possible (aren't we all?) while still getting good quality wire. I'm going to be running a BRZ2100.1D (maybe 1700.1D if Audiosavings doesn't stock any 2100s soon) so I need wire that'll be able to support this. If anybody knows of any other wire that's reasonably priced and that'll be able to support what I'm getting then that'd be great. I've read a few times that welding cable is about half the price of true 1/0 and works just as good. So might just end up going that route to be honest.

soundstream15 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 how much you trying to spend? tsunami is very good for the money, id go with knu or shok wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant_Skyrim Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) how much you trying to spend? tsunami is very good for the money, id go with knu or shok wire I'm looking for right around 50 feet most likely. I will have 2 batteries, one under the hood and one in the trunk. So I just need enough 0 gauge to make between all of that. EDIT: I also saw in the wire/fuse guide thread pinned up top that 2 gauge wire should be good enough, but I can't find anywhere reliable that I know of who sells it Edited April 3, 2012 by iChrisTucker Quote Build in progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant_Skyrim Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Came across what looks to be some good priced welding cable...does this seem like a good substitute for 0 gauge? https://weldingsupply.securesites.com/cgi-bin/einstein.pl?Next::1:UNDEF:OR:terms::PA#A2 Quote Build in progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If youre short on cash get knukonceptz CCA 50ft spool for less than 100. Its cheaper than welding cable Quote Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy95 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 i dont think i will use audio cable again as far as power wire. you can get solid copper fine stranded welding cable for WAY cheaper.
