That1Kid Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Kicker, Rockford,knukonceptz, stinger, etc... bunch of audio companies sell ofc 1/0. Could also go with 1/0 welding cable. It's what I use... powerwerx.com or trystar (on ebay sold by "coppercableman"." I have both brands. Both are impressive. Also, lately, I've seen many people talking about audiopipe's 1/0 as being cheap true ofc 1/0.

finkster Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Of course ofc is much better but it depends on the brand. But as with all metals, if it has less resistance, it will handle more current. So 1 inch of cca may be able to carry more current than 10 feet of ofc....etc. DAT 4125------>RE XXX comps active Eclipse cd7000 I serve drunks for a living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy95 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 audiosavings u can buy cadence brand there OMFG!! HOW MANY TIMES ARE PEOPLE GOING TO SAY CADENCE IS OFC! THERE HAS BEEN LIKE 18 FUCKING THREADS SAYING IT ISNT, I USE IT, IT ISNT! sorry for the caps OP, Knukonceptz has good OFC for a nice price, you could look into welding cable, just make sure it has a decent flexibility and thread count for ease of use. OFC is tinned, for protection against corrosion, and is copper stranding CCA is aluminum stranding covered in copper (usually around 10% copper rather than OFCs +98% copper or whatever it is. ) Best Score to Date : 160.5 dB Outlaw (47Hz)[4 XM 15's & 2 Taramps Bass 12k's] BL : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/147800-chevyboy95s-4-15s-7krms-wall-1533-db-on-half-power/YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/hitemwiththeflex/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 OFC isn't only better in power handling...it doesn't corrode as easily as cca. Don't cheap out on wire. aluminum corrodes a hell of a lot slower than copper. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.
