Well, I don't use "zip wire" for anything anymore...  But if you want a
good selection of wire at reasonable prices, and great quality...

I've bought by the foot and by the spool from these folks.  Tell Matt I
sent you.  :)

I suggest using 10 GA THHN/THWN wire in red and black....  then HAND
twist it and terminate it with your Powerpole on one end and the lug
terms or whatever you want on the other end.  Use heatshrink or zip-ties
to keep twists (not necessary for cables with PP on both ends...

BTW, WesBell has heatshrink too...

Is this becoming common practice or is wire going the way of 2X4 lumber? Suggestions for a reputable source of true 10GA PTFE zip wire for K3 power?
