Welding cable in car audio?

Question

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using 1/0 gauge welding cable as oppose to using 1/0 gague power cable from like stinger or streetwires other than the price?

Also what is flash, and why should I be worried about that with welding cables?

Answer 1

no advantages.

Flash... Sounds like someone's feeding you bs information.

Answer 2

none

Answer 3

Welding cable doesn't have the many fine strands as amp wire cable therefore it isn't as flexible to route throughout an automobile. I doubt that welding cable is as high a quality as a good oxygen free copper cable as most cable that is intended for car audio is.

Answer 4

They are pretty much the same thing. Both are made to handle immense amounts of power.

The main drawbacks will be it's strand count and it's looks. But, let's face it, it doesn't have to be pretty to be loud.
