SAE wire of the same gauge is smaller, not profoundly so, in the 5% to 10% ballpark. I personally think CCA wire in jumper cables is mainly a marketing gimmick, but I do have to admit it weighs less and costs less for the same conductivity.
I found an even cheaper way to get 2-gauge wire at Loweโs.
They sell a set of 16 foot 2-gauge jumper cables for $25.
Iโve now bought three sets. I cut the clamps off, separate the two wires and Iโve got 32 feet of 2-gauge for 78ยข a foot.

I would not use standard building wire for DC systems like thhn posted from Lowes.
Some car stereo stores have good selection of wire.

All those places are expensive... I found a battery store near me and got cable with ends made $1.40 a ft. I got an end on one side and custome cut what I bought and put my own end on the other. Crimped and soldered it.
