I was surfing for some 1/0 guage power wire and ran across http://www.digitalwavez.com/wire.htm
where they have something like 20 feet for 39 bucks. Would that be ok to use or would it starve under the conditions of a H1100a2C and a H800a4C? Any suggestiong/help appreciated! Thanks
David

1/0 power will be plenty for almost any daily driver system. I don't beleive any car audio manufacturer makes anything larger than 1/0.

I have a little something to share with you guys... Buy some welding cable from a welding supply shop... I have seen 00awg wire once, didn't have the money for it unfortunatly, damn!!! You can pick up 0/1awg cheap and its usually better wire than your average audio connection cable... Its what I like to use, and its easier to hide under the hood and stuff if you have a stealth system like me... Not to mention its for welding with constant 100+ amp draw... Just a thought...

Would you like fries with that???

There are even some welding companies that will sell you colored cable. I know of one company that will sell you cable in whatever color you want AND write whatever you want on it, and it is marginally cheaper than stereo wire.

Most welding companies will sell you black cable. A place called Linweld will sell you the colored stuff and will do the writing on it for you.
