If you have a home depot by you, you can go there. It actually welding power wire but it's the same thing a car power wire. It's rated for up to like 600volts, thats the wire I used on my car and it's really good. It cost's about $65 for a box of 50 feet.

West Marine. It's not cheap by any means since it's "Marine Grade" but it's one place that's got it.
