I usually buy though their eBay store. Have a couple of their crimpers, and use their welding wire for any cables I build.

I always preferred welding cable, more flexible and if my high school science classes were right the finer strands actually are able to carry more amps for the same cross section.

has far has wire size range, will 2/0 cover most applications or do you think I need to have a bunch of different size wire on hand? was thinking of getting a roll red and black 2/0 then a couple rolls 14ga for lights, control wiring

Problem I've seen with welding cable is when corrosion gets started, it flies through like fire through dry grass.

Of course, but the indent type still works fine. Just need to do it all proper and heat shrink to prevent corrosion. What style cable ends are you looking at? Actual crimped terminal cable ends or crimped lugs to marine terminals?
