That jacket is EXTREMELY thick. Looks even worse than Raptor did.

With the monster cable, look at the pics, the spool says 1 gauge not 0 gauge

Strand count is important but such a thick jacket makes me assume less flexibility.

i saw a guy with something that looked like that. the wire was really nice. the jacket was just REALLY big. it made the wire look huge!.
i was told the monster was good. but i have no idea. i would go to vertexaudio.com and get some of that stuff from him!

monster is ok at best. it has plastic in the center of the wire core. supposedly a magnetic flux something or other. basically its a gimmick but the wire isint bad. i got 2 3ft runs for free with my atomic and they work just fine but i wouldnt buy it unless it was under $2 a ft shipped.

imo welding cable is the way to go if you want cheap true 1/0 some times its actually pretty flexible if you get some good stuff.

A hint of irony from the cheap wire company in your link

"It is not smart to go cheap on your wires"
