well here is a little math i did.... 1 20ft piece of OFC 1/0 500A load, loss of 1V and 500w 2 20ft pieces of CCA 1/0 (so 250a per cable)[this being less money than 1/0 OFC] 250A load x 2 (so 250 per cable), loss of 0.85V and 425w (212.5w per cable) Tony, is this correct? or is it there more to it than just dividing by 2 when using 2 cables instead of 1?

Bought 2 HDC4's from kevin, he shipped next day on both, gave me a great deal, couldnt have been happier.

Not to be an ass, but the opinion pushed is being backed by REAL WORLD TESTING, not on paper. yes as a DIRECT comparison, OFC > CCA, but for current carrying capacity (not resistance), for the cost CCA is better. You can do 3 runs of CCA for the price of 1 Run of OFC. OFC will carry 300 max, CCA will carry close to 600. So are you willing to lose battery capacity in extra resistance? Cost isn't the only factor influencing the answer here. actually, i will take a .1 or .2v loss from resistance from CCA and have MORE power getting to my batteries and amplifiers than gain .2v and not have as much juice flowing back i have tried both in my truck... came out that 4 runs of CCA bounced my voltage back faster than 2 runs or OFC or 1 run of 3/0 welding, and maintained better voltage during play....

Which is why we constantly tell new members to deal WITH the company and not make a useless fucking threads. Good day sir, and good job mechman -

Patience my friend. Some companies take months to get products from... An depending on te quality, people are happy to wait. As far as mechman, they will take care of you, just be patient, maybe send another email I a few days if no response, and I mean a few work days. -

are you talking about an IB setup? -
x2. The best thing to do is either with a DD-1 or a scope..... check for signal clipping after the HU, then check for signal clipping after the epicenter on full volume un clipped HU volume, Then with HU at full unclipped and epicenter at full unclipped, plug into the LC-1 and max out the LC-1 knob, then plug the RCA's into the amp and set the amps gains. LC-1 doesnt alter the signal, it just regulates the voltage. edit: and you will want your epicenter flat when you set the gains. And remember, it is better to lower the peaks, then it is to boost the valleys in a response curve with an epicenter.
