Default Need Cables for battery relocate. Where to get?

I need the cables for my battery relocate setup. I noticed the cables I had were scorched for some reason, so I need to get new ones. The positive needs to be at least 17 foot long (preferably 1, and the ground...well..its a ground, it don't have to be so long.

Anyways, I need cable thats nice and fat, 2 gauge or whatever they use, and thats durable enough to stand up to being routed outside of the car. Obviously, if I can get raw cable I can put the ends on the cable without a problem. If you know of a good deal pre-assembled, its for a top mount battery.

What are my options?

car audio shop if you want the nice high quality stuff and get it per foot. You can get the 0/1 gauge stuff. Or get some welding cables, thats pretty big stuff as well

Welding cables would be the best. They have more strands of wire than standard auto cables, and therefore have less draw from resistance. Of course, thats what I am using...So you may wish to go another route. Thats what everyone else does. LOL If I'm doing it, it must be wrong. LMAO
