Welding supply stores. It's not fancy but it carries current and that's all that matters.

i usually buy from my local audio stores. but if your going to buy off line use knukonceptz i've gotten stuff from them before they have great service.

i wouldn't use wire from welding stores for car audio, you want real high strand count so the wire is flexible stick with wire designed for car audio

streetwires is good but if you really want good wire meaning high strand count and flexibility than knuconceptz is the best imho. I use it in my car the 0 awg.

Eh, not really. Stinger is pretty much the Dynamat of wires.

I've seen extremely flexible welding wire. It depends on the selection of your welding store.

partsexpress has some generic brand wires that are very good for their price. Although they're generic they're not those cheap low strand count ones either.

I'm running streetwires on my positive. Very high strand count but a bit stiff. For my ground I'm using kicker. this stuff is super flexible, I can almost tie a perfect knot with this stuff.

Quality items but over priced. I don't support them because of their audio and video cable marketing practices. If you go to Best Buy, Monstor has a huge selection of $100+ HDMI cables. You can go to Monoprice.com and get HDMI cables that perform EXACTLY the same as Monster except they cost less than $10.
