ALPINE408 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I've. Done 160s with all cca just fyi changed over to all ofc guess what I gained.... Not a fucking thing cca is fine if you have the right amount for your current demands... Have you ever had your woofers blown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamHT Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockford96 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieHoward Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 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.

TeamHT Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 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. Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

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 ~~~~~~~~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...
