Soccerballzs Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Welding cable is good stuff. Very nice price also. I have used it in the past for main runs. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/garage/vehicle/2438-jeep-commander/I Pioneer P99RSAmpere 38002-Ampere 125/44-6.5 inch Hertz HSK XL Mids4-8 inch JL Audio ZR Midwoofer 2-5.25 Satori Mids2-Morel Tweeters, 2 Hertz Milles 3 inch on A pillars2-Hertz Silk tweeters DC Audio Level 5/12 Skyhigh Wire Mechman 320 XS Power D3100MO Funniest Thread of the Year 2013: http://www.stevemead...dy-being-a-pos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 But is there any major differences between the 4/0 and 1/0 i know size and strand count is one but what else. And did you have any issues with soldering or crimping the welding cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FocusOn20s Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 4/0 gauge welding cable is good for 440 amps up to 100' 1/0 gauge welding cable is good for 300 amps up to 100' 1/0 gauge OFC Car audio cable is good for 300-350 amps up to 20' for the price of 1/0 ofc, you could get the 4/0 gauge welding cable for slightly more with a substantial amount more of electrical capabilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truthsayer Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 8K power. Your going to need a HO alt And more than one battery. For the batts, looks at XS power. For HO alts look at DC, Singer and Mechman. truthsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Lightning Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I'd run welding cable over any other brand cable on the market. Go to your local welding supply shop and take a look at it for yourself. Also ... Knowing what vehicle you have will help us help you with suggestions.
