That was my plan, just wanted to make sure i was doing the right thing. and about the ground, just run 4 awg from the amps to a grounding point?

2ga or 1 ga would also carry the load but it doesn't have the wank factor that you are after.

LOL!

Jumper lead cable! (I've actually done it before!!)

and there is a problem with that?!
as long as the cable isn't sobid core, it should be fine.
go with 2ga. and if need be run 2 lengths of it. i dare you to find anything near the $12pr meter of the jaycar 2ga power cable. even if you run 1x0ga it would be more expensive. (unless you can buy it cheap).

See if you can find the website to CrazyCables Australia, He used to sell 0ga for $13pr meter.
