Smoove Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Ok, you guys have proved/disproved thoery's on CAPs and cheap amps using the AD-1. Can you use the AD-1 to prove/disprove 0/1 CCA (oversized) and 0/1 OFC? possibly include the 2/0?

SnowDrifter Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I'm game for that. Like: testing out various front-to-back runs?I'd chip in for the wire Quote ~~~~~~~~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...
CJ18 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 This could probably be done on the bench just using say about an 18-20' run of each wire from the battery bank to the amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyD'Amore Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 AD-1 can definitely be used to find the difference in these cables. In some testing i've performed at one of my former jobs, I tested various cables (ofc, cca, and different blends of cca) and have seen HUGE differences.

TeamHT Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I'd like to see the difference on a legit 2000 watt amp. Obviously anything over 250 amps might result in a huge issue. My install for example. Dual 370 amp alternators two runs each to a D3100 with four runs of positive and four runs of negative to a bank of five XP2500s. I honestly don't see the value of using OFC vs CCA. But then again I'm powering an AQ20 to .67 nominal. I expect a good amount of current draw, but not more than my CCA can carry. Guess I'm deviating, half a bottle of crown Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamHT Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Six runs of positive and six negative from the bank to the amp Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I have a video, and a issue I'm seeing in my build with regards of wire type. I've already spoken with TD, and showed him the video, and when I'm further along the build, this will get a very thorough goin through. If what is going on that we think is,... You may be surprised about difference in wire type. Quote SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be surprised about difference in wire type. I have also seen some differences, and wouldn't be too surprised. But I'm in for seeing the AD-1 test all the different wires.

Kyblack76 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 You could use a IM-SG also. But you'd need a fair amount of each cable for testing. It would also be a killer tool for this job.
