Agreed, princess auto has some 0ga welding cable for cheap. The only thing is that its not as aesthetically pleasing as the expensive stuff. Also, power acoustik has a 2 gauge wiring kit (Model # KIT-2G). DO NOT buy it, it's available practically everywhere on the net and extremely cheap but THE WIRE IS NOT 2 GA ITS 4 GA (they measured copper and insulation to gauge the cable, not just the copper). In my opinion, if any device warrants 2 gauge wiring, just do the 0 gauge thing and call it a day...

The welding cable sounds like the best route. I guess I will have to stop by princess auto next time I'm in Edmonton or Lloydminster. Thanks for the input guys!
