Regarding Mr. Dill’s Q: " What about a double run of 0 AWG wire?
Should be twice as good ...."
The low cable resistance has an optimum value. After that, getting more gauge, would have little or no benefit (sonic) but will cost way more, as more material and labor are involved.
This optimum value need to be calculated. The result, should be rounded up to the next AWG avaliable on the guage table:

Ref. to this table, a 4 AWG cable has a 0.81508 Ohm per 1,000m or
0.00081508 Ohm per 1m to have this as twice as good: 0.406392 Ohm,
requires a 1 AWG cable.
In other words, if you would need a 1m of 4 AWG, by doubling the length to 2m, it would now require a 1 AWG cable. or two 4 AWG in parallel. Two equal resistors in parallel = R/2 (of half the value of one resistor).
If in series, it is 2R (by ohm’s law).
