OrionStang Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Searching for a 7-8k watt amp when I already bought one, and it was DOA. Down over $1k and looking to drop at least that much more. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega5002 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Just use a reducer... What's wrong with a reducer, better than shorting out something or having to trim oversized wire. The point was that if you use the correct size OFC to begin with, you don't need to go to larger CCA which will equal out to about the same cost especially when you figure in the cost of adding reducers, when concerning the current carrying capacity of the two different wires. But what if you use oversized ofc wire, you mad bro? lol 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...
Quiet Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Not the point of the convo... if you are using CCA you're cheaping out on wire. Using larger CCA and a reducer will just bring back up the cost to the same or more than the correct size OFC... If you want to max out electrical you're not gonna use CCA and aren't as concerned with cost. 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud.

SnowDrifter Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Only time I ever use CCA is when current draw is negligible. I have a cheap spool of 14ga that I use for things like volt meter leads, turning on relays, remote wire... ETC.Anything else is OFC ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamHT Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 I really want to see how a 50' spool of CCA and reduces = the cost of 50' of OFC. I'm all for arguments but that is incorrect. Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 For equal current draw... of course same gauge CCA is cheaper. 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
