I know its a dead horse, CCA/OFC

Before the tear out, my score stayed the exact same going from OFC to CCA. It's why I will use OFC when the budget allows and CCA when it doesn't. The CCA is ridiculously cheaper and a guard bargain to beat. Compare 50' spools and the difference is too much.

Now imagine where I run 200' of wire.

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

OFC is better wire than CCA. Cost? I don't care.

agreed i bought cca first and reading alot ill save a little longer and run ofc..

edit:aside my opinion if cost isnt a issue run ofc but if your on a budget or running hundreds of feet of wire cca is fine i think you would be fine with multiple cca runs

My setup,

Digital Designs M80

3 Re audio 10's ported tuned to 36 hz

Kenwood x-696

SHCA 0 gauge

Polk audio coax running off hu

Meh. I know the cost is a factor, but I really only wanted OFC. So i kept my eye out. Electron Beam Technologies is a welding supply company that I found on Facebook and they have killer sales from time to time. Last week I got 40ft of 2/0 flex-a-prene welding cable @ 1.90/ft. (which is about as beefy as 1/0 sky high, maybe a little more so) PLUS 30 ft of 4 guage @ 0.67/ft. for $104 shipped for all. Can't beat that with a stick. I would say if cost is an issue run your cca until you can afford to upgrade OR keep your eye out for a couple of weeks. Love my OFC.

you guys are completely missing the point. he has more demand than one run of 1/0 OFC could handle. so he should be doing two runs. but two runs of CCA more than covers his needs. so the extra cost for OFC is wasted on "uhh, I like it better."

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.

I tried to explain it as simple as I could...idk why it's still a battle between OFC and CCA. It's what is more cost effective

And the current demand. I've said it before, I was snobby and strictly OFC. Until I swapped and used CCA and dropped absolutely nothing on my loudest score same power and same frequency. And even with the extra four runs was STILL 1/3 the cost.

I don't care what anyone uses, whatever floats your own boat. But same exact score at the same exact frequency OFC to CCA? Yeah. I'll go with CCA.

A single run of SHCA 2/0 OFC will handle that 240a alt just fine. It's affordable and you'll save $$ of fuses with that over 2 runs of CCA
