First, the formalities.

Product: Radaflex Welding Cable

Manufactured by: Synergy Cables USA Ltd.

Purchased/received from: www.cableyard.com

I'm getting ready to venture into my largest build to date. A pair of 15's off a 3K watt amp. :P Here

is a little about the 1/0 cable I bought.

What do we have here?

100ft of Radaflex 1/0 welding cable. 42lbs of copper cabling.

ID markers on the cable. This stuff is good to 195 degrees Fahrenheit. I recommend some

fiberglass/foil insulation for under hood use. Also avoid running this by any exhaust components.

The outside diameter measures right at 5/8"

The strands outside diameter measure around 7/16" There are 1580 strands of 32 AWG copper wire.

I bough this cable online through CableYard.com Pricing varies on quantity ordered. Free shipping is offered for

orders over $250 of Radaflex cables. They accept paypal, which is very convenient. I placed my order,

got a confirmation e-mail with in minutes. Unfortunately there was no tracking number provided, so I

was kind of left hanging on when the item shipped. I'm pretty sure I would have been provided one if I

called. Calling was not needed because my order arrived a couple of days after I placed my order. Even

though Cable Yard is in Georgia the Cable came from Houston Tx.

Here is a link to the PDF brochure for Radaflex cables.

As I start my build I'll update this thread with any new findings, performance wise and quality wise

as well.
