Not really that...his might be used and I'd be quite suprised if those flea market subs actually came with a warranty. icon_confused.gif

They are great if you need it to look fancy.

If you don't care about looks and have some wiggle room, save money and just get welding cable, you can run 0ga for the price of KK 4ga.

Like I said, only thing to worry about is how its going to look, and if you have some wiggle room. Only real difference between "power" cable and "welding" cable is the strand count. More strands = more flexible, but I've made welding cable do tight 90-180s before with no problem.
