Any reason not to buy Power wire off ebay?

I always have in the past but I'm starting to upgrade to more and more powerful systems. The price difference between a run of 1/0 from ebay, to knu conceptz, to using welding wire is a huge. Anyone know if the ebay stuff has the same copper content and adequate insulation?

It should be just fine, it may be wimpy for its size (or not oversized like ca stuff) but it will do what you need it to.

Good to hear. I was just worried that the insulation might be unsafe or that there would be some kind of tin/aluminum thrown in with the copper which would affect the thermal capacity.

welcome back Sean, you got a few PM's waiting for you haha

welding wire is plenty strong, and will allow plenty of current flow, and for good reason, lol.

Welding wire is great most actually has two layers of jacket. I use forney welding wire and its all copper. Its really flexible too.
