Quiet Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 CCA wire. I've never understood why people use it. Yeah... it might be cheaper. But it's less conductive too. Around half the cost for just over half the conductivity. 10% copper/90% aluminum mix is only 60% as conductive as copper. Once you factor in costs like fuses, terminals, grommets.... Whatever, your cost/performance ratio ends up being about the same as OFC anyway. So why not save the trouble and use that in the first place? not to mention you may not have the option to go larger, like say your amp has 4 gauge inputs... you're just killing it using CCA 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with a reducer, better than shorting out something or having to trim oversized wire. 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
