I Made my own battery cables for positive and negative. I got marine terminals for the battery and 4 guage battery wire and used copper lugs for the connectors. Than I used heat shrink to make everything look nice. The ones from Autozone or Napa had like 6 gauge battery wire.

Where did you purchase the cable? I can get the terminals connectors and what not just need to find a place to buy some cable itself..

Also look for the local stereo shops...If you hear BASSSSSSSS then you can probably buy power cable from them.
If your looking to replace the entire junk power system...5-90 on NAXJA and on here sometimes...sells all new power lines cut to length, terminated, and a LOT better grade then the junk the factory installed.

Forget the audio stores they just want to empty your wallet. Buy cable by the yard at the local welding supply store. I have about 10 yards of it in "O" and "OO" from there. It is all black. No color choices but pretty cheap.

Forgot about welding supply. At the time when I bought mine, I needed 6ft for alt to bat connection on 2 jeeps.
Welding supply would be alot cheaper.
