Re: wleding cable reasoning?
usually welding cable is the cheapest large cable you can buy. Plus you can buy in bulk and make your own cables

Re: welding cable reasoning?
The reason I use welding cable is the high strand count. And we all know amps travel on the outside of a wire not the inside . So the more stands the more outside surface hence......You guessed it, the more amp carrying capacity!

Re: wleding cable reasoning?
Which welding cable should I buy?
http://www.bakersgas.com/weldingcable.html If my 1989 and 1991 are still factory cables, are they 2 gauge? |

Stay away from the audio cable. The insulating jacket is not rated for the acidic environment.
