whee can i get good 0 gauge wire less than $10.00 a foot

a local store in scarborough near my cousin is selling 0 gauge for $10.00 a foot, that seem expensive to me. I'm doing the big 3 in a ford explorer so i only need a few small peices. Any shop around have a spool they can sell lenghts of 0 gauge from? preferably kicker hyperflex

if your looking for wire made by a speaker sound manufacturer you will be paying top dollar. if your looking for 0 guage then try princess auto or a welding shop. i assure you that the copper on the inside conducts electrcity the exact same way the wire made by monster or kicker.

Knukonceptz sells their 1/0 KLMX wire (copper coated aluminum) for $1.75 a foot, I've got 8 runs of it and it seems to work just fine for me.

how good is copper coated alum wire??
i always thought alum was a no-no. it has to be bigger also to carry the same current right?

aluminum isnt as good as copper as a conductor, however thats why when you get 1/0 from people like knuconcepts there 1/0 is the ize of 2/0...
You just need more aluminum to equal copper.

Hey offhisroca thought u got your 3/0 for free from a work site!!!???
