How much does 4 Gauge power wire usually cost you?

Hey all,

Well I went out and bought new wire and it was $4.00 a foot. I mean WTF is that? I remember just a few years ago, the good stuff was $1.50 a foot and now it's $4.00. My good. Maybe the store is just expensive because they also charge $30 for a ANL fuse holder and $28 for a 150 amp ANL fuse. Is everywhere this expensive?

Our bulk 4awg runs from $2.05 - $2.55 per foot.

ANL fuse holders range from $19.99 - $78.99

ANL fuses range from $5.99 - $22.99

Why not just buy a kit and have everything you need? It will include power, ground, remote, loom, straps, ring terminals, fuse, fuse holder, grounding block etc...

Sure Princess has welding wire for cheap but how about supporting your local stereo shop.

Princess also usually has ANL fuse blocks/fused dirtos for 0/2 awg. I picked my 0/2 awg, ANL distro for 14.99. it was a tusinami too. and 24.99 is ALOT for a fuse. I picked a pack of 5 200amp fuses for 14.99. then again that was in the states.

Why would there be a range. ANL fuses are pretty lo-tech items.. Aside from some gold plating and a logo there is no reason one would be almost 4x the other..
