skittlesRgood 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. ) OFC is not automatically tinned... and if its tinned itll be silver. 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.

mlstrass Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 How big is your alt, will you have batts in the rear? I used 4 runs of CCA front to back, actually gained nothing going from 2-4 runs. 270xp alt and batt bank in the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosg_313 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Knukonceptz /thread How do the Japanese feel about bass?You know that since 03/11/11 Progene? I just saw that stuff on CNN. They said it makes your junk shrink all up. lol.im pretty sure the op wont even notice if it gets even smaller.

profundus-sanus Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 put some shrink tubing on your connections.. then don't worry about your wire corroding. imo 3 runs of cca = 2 runs of ofc as far as current capacity, assuming they're both of adequate size of course. i'm going to give bullz a try soon. its been tested to be true to size cca... so we'll see.

That1Kid 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. You're right. I may have the term mistaken. Maybe it's oxidize I'm thinking of? I remember seeing a handful of threads where people showed their cca wire breaking apart and changing color and shit near the terminal. -98' Ford Expedition (Rest in Peace) -AVH-P3300BT -Crescendo BC5500 -4 18" DC m2 Level 3.

getlocivic Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 i HAD knu konceptz cca 0g.. for about 3months... i noticed i wasnt charging as high as i used to and my amps were getting hotter.. took the power wire out and cut the coating off and from front to back it was corroded..same for grounds... switched to rockford fosgate ofc and aint had a problem since that my personal experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maticus Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I posted this in another OFC Vs. CCA, but here ya go. hey guys, i got 1/0 soundquest, its cca and i hered that ofc is better but im running a aq 1200d should i upgrade to ofc wiring or am i fine, im also using it for the big 3 to maybe just leave that and do big 3 in ofc.... lemme no thanks nate I probably have the same kit as you, and the wire you have isn't bad at all. OFC is better, yes, but that's on an atomic level. You see, aluminum has 3 electrons in it's valence shell while all of the elements I highlighted in yellow have one single valence electron. The further down that list you go, the more conductive the metal will be. Gold is better than copper because its valence electron is further from the nucleus of the atom therefore it can "jump" from atom to atom much easier. So say you somehow got wire made from Curium (Cm) it would trump the living shit out of all of the ones above it on the periodic table, because its valence electron is so far away from the atom's nucleus. i almost forgot though, that those elements on the bottom actually aren't the MOST conductive, the element Roentgenium (Rg) would be the most conductive on that list, considering it would come after curium.

ALPINE408 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 you can use ether just use more of the cca then you would of the ofc now with the money you save buying cca you lose buying more to get the same perforamce of the ofc on a side note there is no such thing as OFC oxegen free copper they dont make it in a vacume sealed room and as soon as you open it.. its exposed to oxegen its stranded copper with no clade still better but no such thing as ofc Have you ever had your woofers blown?
