Stereo shops, if you can find one who will sell of the roll you can get it for $1/foot (canadian) which is pretty reasonable.

I didn't have a stereo shop near me, so I went to NAPA. I don't know if they carry 0 AWG, but I got 2 AWG for a buck and change a foot.

The best store I have seen is 2AWG at Advance Auto Parts, it was $1.50/foot. Kinda like NAPA. No one bought it while I worked there.

i buy individually strand wires, then wrap them myself and melt my own jackets for them out of old shoe soles and bubble gum. works reallly good and fun to chew on.

i would always recommend your local stereo shop. how much do you need? do you need it as one wire or 2? maybe I can help you out.
i would also recommend if anyone needs anykind of wire to stock up on in soon. The price of copper has gone up and if places havent already, they will soon raise the prices. Retail prices are expected to go up nearly 200%.+

Do you really need 14 feet for a Big 3 upgrade?

your big 3 grounds shouldnt be more than 1ft and 3 ft.

as for the alternator to bat, not sure.

What happened? He put his positive to the frame? ... I seriously fail to see any problems with upgrading the alternator wire, the battery to ground wire and the alternator ground....There's already wires that's do that just when you add you're putting in more ways to the elecricity to flow that are more direct and threfore, easier on your electric system ... ?

you want to bump, then they will bump and hit real hard and a lot good.
