This is in addition to the rear breaker.
I'll try and dig up pictures.

The KLM 1/0 wire on the KnuKonceptz site is Copper Clad Al (CCA)
this is given as 10% Cu and 90% Aluminum.
The area is 66.8 mm2
When you work out the Cu equivalent cross section at 20 deg C I get 44.75 mm2
This is about 1 AWG Cu wire (42.4 mm2)
So if you are comparing cost compare the 1/0 CCA with 1 AWG Cu wire.
It seems to me that 2 AWG Cu would be more than adequate, since its about 0.8 V drop at 200 Amps. ( and about $1.26 per foot from welding supply site)
