That would be 0000 wire... good to 300A for transmission.

Also good for building structural members.

For anyone who cares :

"This means that in American wire gage every 6 gauge decrease gives a doubling of the wire diameter, and every 3 gauge decrease doubles the wire cross sectional area. Just like dB in signal levels. "

Very interesting Bren and Bridgman. Now I know what I'm getting for the net result. I wish I could say I knew that upfront when I biwired, but I didn't. The only thing I knew for sure was that 2 wires was better than 1. And I had the wires, thought it a shame to leave half of them unused.
