Finding places to run the wire is one of the advantages to using multiple runs of smaller cable.

For example, you may be able to hide 4 runs of 4ga more easily than one or two runs of 1/0, due to the narrower diameter and the ability to them flat as opposed to have a bigger hump under the carpet.

SPL people are officially insane btw.

stinger has that flatter style 0/1 - 0/1X3 wire. ( not flat flat, but not as tall as normal 0/1)
