id do 0 gauge for sure. the wire would burn up before the fuse popped in a bad situation. ebay has some for a decent price though. ive seen it as low as like 30-50 for 25 ft

Alright ill take a look, I want it to be REAL 0 gauge though. You think street wires is a good company, i might as well get a descent 0 gauge amp kit, i found one for 100$ and i figured thats how much it was gunna cost after buying the fuse holders, etc.

this place is where i order my stuff, great prices and very very good customer service. as far as street wires they are ok but there are better brands out there these days for less. stay away from the copper clad cables. its just crap to work with lol to say the least.
