Sergeant_Skyrim Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Welding cable is where it's at, I bought 50 feet from weldingsupply.com for their discounted price of 2.49/ft and already have it in. If money's tight for you like it was for me then I'd suggest getting it from there for I think just under $3 per foot. Didn't take long to get here either.

252chevyboyz Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 How stiff is it? The welding cable at Lowes only has like 11 strands and is stiff as all get out. I was considering welding cable but i'm wondering how do you think it performs? -James Quote - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
252chevyboyz Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I got enough to buy 15ft of the 1/0 and 6 copper 1/0 lugs to put on the end. Comes out to $65.91 for the 15ft and 6 lugs. I am gonna do some research on how it performs and I may put an order in tonight. I just need to do this Big 3 asap.

87chevyboi Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 252chevyboyz where you located in north carolina? and nah dont get the welding cable from lowes thats hard copper wire. As in not as many wire strand, the more the wire strand count the more flex you have in theory. So if you buy welding lead look around on the internet to see the strand count on it so you buy stuff you can bend dont "jump the gun". You'll waste your money and be mad that you did.

Trey_Dog650 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I think welding cable is pretty flexible stuff. At least the ones I have are. I think tony might be able to work something out with you since your on a budget. But honestly all you need is 6 ring terminals, a fuse holder and fuse. And some true 0 gauge ofc wire. Shouldn't matter too much what brand as long as it meets specs. If you want to piece it together look at either darvex, or shoot skyhighcaraudio a pm about stuff.

252chevyboyz Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 @87: I am indeed in NC. I'm located in Rocky Mount. Also I found some 1/0 welding cable at weldingsupply.com and it looks just like regular audio wire. Plenty of strands and looks pretty flexible. What you thinking about their product? @Trey: As I posted above I found some at weldingsupply.com but would you recommend any specific site? The cable at weldingsupply is $2.99/ft. Is Tony's screen name skyhighcaraudio? If so I will shoot him a PM and see whats up -James Quote - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

252chevyboyz Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 @87: Oh so your Snow White's owner. I've been watching your build for a few days now. You have come a long ways since you got it. I like the custom door panel trim with the tweeters and great job painting the dash cover. I'm still tuned in to the build. I love these trucks and the body style. Sanford really ain't that far from me though. I'll for sure have to get a demo when you have her up and running. -James Quote - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
