Bass4Lyfe Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 At my work I just found out I can get as many feet of power wire (1/0 through 4/0) as I want for like 1.xx a foot .... My questions is does it matter if its automotive wire or not? Like if its shielded or resistant to elemetns or something like that. Is there a difference? I'ma bout to pick up 22 feet Thanks Quote ~Matthew 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6 3L (1) ScyTek Astra 4000RS-2W-1 2-Way Remote Start Alarm with Shock and Proximity (1) 20% Tint All Around (Gately Audio) (1) 250 Amperage HO Alternator (1) Big 3 Done In 1/0 (2) Kinetik HC2400 Power Cell (1) Alpine IVA-D106 Receiver (1) Peripheral Video Bypass Device (4) Alpine SPS-17C2 Speakers (1) Alpine KCE-422i iPod Control Interface (4) Sheets Dynamat Extreme; for speakers (1) 10 Square Feet Hushmat (Trunk & Rear Deck) (4) DC Audio Level 4 15" D2 Subwoofer w/ Level 5 Coils (1) Wall Built By David, Tuned to 32 Hz (1) Rockford Fosgate T40001bd Amplifier (1) Stinger 1/0 Wiring (2 runs of + 2 runs of -) (1) Stinger Volt Meter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 see if you can get a 1 foot piece of it and take a picture of it and post the pic before buying a huge chunk of it and have it not work. I have seen some of the 1/0 that electricians use in houses and it while it would work in your car it isnt very flexable and can be a real pita to get it todo what you want, I would hate to see you waste your money.
