Posted October 16, 200915 yr Hey guys, i'm looking for 1/0 gauge wire for a big 3 upgrade. I was researching some wire and it seems that 1/0 is pretty damn expensive. I stumbled across this brand knukonceptz which was the cheapest, and i had to post something to get feedback, because i noticed in their description that their wires are made up of 90% aluminum and 10% copper. Now for an amplfier i wouldn't care, but i'm pretty sure for a big three upgrade i'm looking for least resistance, and that wire is basically all aluminum. I'm not trying to bash the company, but would you guys recommend this wire for a big three upgrade, or should i go off looking for something that has pure copper threading in it. Thanks for any answers!P.S: If anyone can strike me a deal on some 1/0 gauge wire for cheap, that would be great! i know its pretty expensive, but i'm looking for something around 20ft for around $40 :X or 40ft for around $80.
October 16, 200915 yr Welding cable is much cheaper. That's what I'm going to use when I upgrade to double 0.
October 16, 200915 yr www.weldingsupply.comIt's nice. Just got a big box of it last week. Ships fast and the price is right.
October 16, 200915 yr I honestly think you wouldn't really notice the difference, but welding supply dropped their prices a bit. I've owned both, haven't bought from welding supply in while, but their shipping is fast from my experience.

October 16, 200915 yr i like the knukonceptz flex cable. Kicker Hyperflex is also good.I would stay away from Monster Cable. I bought 250 ft of 1/0 to find out there is some plastic tube shit in the middle(apparently a noise reducer but very doubtful). I bought the monster flex cable and it dosent move at all. Just a rip off in general.If you dont need flexibility welding cable is the best way to go about things.
October 16, 200915 yr I use a Stinger power kit in 0 ga, and I realize it's not pure cooper at all. Is it really better to use pure cooper? (For a future instal, because I don't want to re-do my instal!)Is there a significant difference for a 1000-2000 watts rms setup?

October 18, 200915 yr I bought some 0guage hyperflex wire from weldingsupply.com and I must more flexible than my previous 4gauge install and just as flexible as the kicker hyperflex 4guage wire. I only paid $94 for thirty ft. of wire. I am very satisfied and I plan on upgrading to 1/0 cable soon as I figure out what to do with the rest of this cable I have left.

October 18, 200915 yr I used welding supply 1/0 plenty flexible and a jacket rated to withstand -58*F to 302*F
