bassfreake Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 where can you get wire bigger than 1/0 gauge? everywhere I've looked the biggest I found was 1/0. Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

bassfreake Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Posted March 13, 2013 I thought welding wire wasn't as good ? or is just that it's not as flexible Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

SnowDrifter Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Really any welding supply store (online) should have it Biggest I'd go is 3/0 though. 4/0 is much more expensive for not all that much more copper. At least in the price lists I've seen ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
bassfreake Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Posted March 13, 2013 I'm just asking cuz when I get around to doing my upgrade I'm considering rather than running 2 or 3 1/0 wires all over my car seeing about just running a bunch of the really big stuff lol Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

SnowDrifter Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 I thought welding wire wasn't as good ? or is just that it's not as flexible Sometimes it's not as flexible. Depends on what wire you get I use welding wire in my car and have zero problems with it. Well... Aside from it not wanting to bend, but I knew that full well when I got it - low strand count ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444

At least in the price lists I've seen ok thank you. is the rating for the bigger stuff like how it sounds? (2/0 gauge is roughly 2 1/0... etc) ? or am I probably better off just staying with running a bunch of 1/0 unless I just need really need more but not enough for a full 'nother 1/0?

To replace 3 runs of 0 gauge, you'd need 350 or 400 mcm cable. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
