Do a search for 12 gage speaker wire. Monoprice has it for 1/2 the price of powerwerx.

A number of years ago FRC 4607 reached out to a local distributor (for residential and commercial electricians) and the company was happy to help us out. They have supplied all of the wire, tools, terminals, etc we needed. Last year they donated more than enough wire for at least 5 more seasons (large spools of R&B for 18, 14, 12, 10, and 6ga). We are now off-loading some of this wire to the rookie teams we are mentoring.

For batteries, please contact your local Batteries+Bulbs. We have connected with two different local B+B and have received 10 batteries for the last couple of years. We just brought in 8 regulation FRC batteries from one particular B+B.
