sorry, I'm not too much help with online shopping since I get all my stuff local.

just search around. it's not like you can get burned with warranty issues in wire .

You you want good cable cheap then grab your phone book and look up "welding supply". The wire won't be pretty but it will (can) be as good as any name brand specialty wire.

For example, here is http://catalog.welding-supply.com/vi...?item_id=82739 2 AWG cable for $1.12 per foot!

Welding cable sucks. It's stiff and not at all easy to work with. It also can't carry as high of a current load, although the differences are minimal.

Crutchfield has good prices if you just get the regular generic stuff. It's red or black, stranded and works just fine.
