Curious as to why you need 0 gauge.

Do you really need a 300A capable lead?

That must be some serious equipment you're powering.

What equipment are you using, if you don't mind me asking.

EDIT: since you have an auto you should be able to run the wire through the clutch knockout in the firewall

We're you able to do this without many issues?? I have never needed assistance with an install before... Even in any VW I've owned. If you have pics or anything I would appreciate it. Running 0awg wire myself to power my amp. Got frustrated and put everything back together.

Not trying to sound like a dick or anything, but are you guys sure you need 0 Gauge?

0 gauge is good for over 300 amps of current draw...and at that level of power demand you should be running a battery bank......so that leave me curious as to why you're trying to run it through the car....thats a damn big wire to fit under trim panels
