thats not bad but i wonder how many strands it contains...

correct me if im wrong but strand count is only for flexibility right? if its bigger than say kicker hyperflex 1/0 wouldn't it be able to carry more current?

i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

Yes, this does help with flexibility. But the way wiring works is like this...

Electrons flow along those strands. With more strands, the more electrons will be able to flow from one end to the other. Thats why wire that is the same size and material with a low strand count doesnt perform well as the same size wire and material with a high strand count.

Looks like some pretty decent wire with a decent strand count.

Isnt that only true for ac current? once you get to dc current it just flows through the copper or whatever the wire is.

I've used 4/0 and 2/0 welding wire alot, it is not flexible like what you are used to. It works great as long as you don't have any tight bends, I ran the 4/0 down my frame to the rear battery bank but i wouldn't try to run it thru the firewall and under the carpet.

thats what i thougt. higher strand count makes it easier and more current to run.
