wiring 0 gauge question


Recommended Posts

I am currently using knu 1/0 KCA cable for my big 3 and running to my DD M1C. My question is that it is a CCA cable. i have heard different imputs on how it is bad and good. would i be better off switching to the kolosus fleks which is 99.99 %copper thus an OFC cable or another brand OFC cable. what is the difference between CCA and OFC. positives and negatives to both?

cca can handle 250 amps while ofc can handle 300 amps of current draw i believe is the main difference between the two

alright thanks. well i guess my maximum total draw is around 230 in audio max by every amp so the bug 3 should be fine. its not like i have a H/O alt. so it wouldn't be possible for my amp to draw that unless i have batts in back which i dont currently. any other imput SMD?

That's rated at around more than 200 feet. It.can carry more and us rated higher because of such a short run.

Audiopipe 0 gauge is pretty, and ofc.

Look up reviews

For the money you're going to put into upgrading power wire you won't notice any difference at all. It'll be such a minor return on your investment. If you decide to rebuild or upgrade later and are rewiring everything then that's one thing but for upgrades going from Knu's CCA cable to an OFC cable there's virtually no difference for what you're doing and the distance

wtf is lolcats?

I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers.

I was hoping for 150 :(.

I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt

well on my mercedes the battery is in the back so all my power wires to all 3 amps are 5 feet or less. my sub amp run is 4 feet or less. and they are all CCA. so upgrading to any OFC will not be any help? is OFC purely just to carry a larger load? or will it improve sound quality or SPL? and I was thinking about running a OFC line from alt to bat in rear since it is my longest run? will i notice a huge difference coming form OFC? so far the only difference im getting is that CCA is cheaper and only can carry slightly less current. are there any other benefits or drawbacks? and what would you do in my situtation?

Runs are so short that it will not make any difference.

Even tho cca is rated just alittle less, you have to remember that its rated at hundreds of feet, not your typical 20 footer
