Best wire for the best price aside from welding wire will be knukonceptz
Iv used them for years and will never go back to anything else. There pure ofc 5000+strand is like 3.75 a ft. Virtually unbeatable and will be at your doorstep in 2 days.
The flexibility is amazing. Even there cca 1/0 is good andd will hold 200amps as apposed to 300 for the ofc. The cca is around 1.75 a ft I believe

Check em out!

welding wire is the best bet. strand count is great. when a welder is putting 150+ amps through that wire all day long it has to be good. its also the toughest stuff you will find inside and out.

Sooo wait .. You will take 3.50ish for welding wire thatll do 170 or less amps with 1k strand count but wonmt do 3.75 for a 5k strand count and 300amps????
I don't see much logic in this and as well the best flexibility on the market

I'm thinking of buying some 0/1 Gauge and Knukonceptz seems to good to be true. Do you have any laying around? Could you measure the diameter of the copper conductor? (not including the insulation/jacket)
