You could also just go to your welding supply place and buy welding ground cable, comes in different gauges and get what ever length you need, it's made very well and cheap!

YUP!!! Welding cables. Super fine strands so they are easy to route. Good heavy duty insulation but remember, its rubber not vinyl or whatever the really good car cables are insulated with. So outside routing should be kept to a minimum. But I routed my cable from the trunk to the front of the car inside the car so that wasnt an issue. I used 0000 cable and it was right around a buck a foot. And there is no voltage drop, big cable.

For a guy wanting to use cables that are meant for a car really check into the stuff napa supplies. They have some of the best primary cables I have seen yet. And yes, you will pay a lil more for it. But they have some very nice cable. Again, fine strands but what I think sets it apart from some other auto specific cables is the insulation. Pretty thick heat and chemical resistant insulation. But its super flexible. Its a really thick insulation, but its a quality insulation. Not a hard vinyl or plastic outer insulation. More of a semi-soft (not like rubber soft though) vinyl or whatever it is. Once you handle it you can see the diff. Really good stuff. JR
