Welding wire or CA wire?


Recommended Posts

Posted

For my big 3 I have welding wire, just normal welding wire from a local store, not sure what it is CCA or OFC but would it be worth getting car audio wire to say the least? With that being said when doing big 3 since its short lengths is it ok to run CCA?

If it is 1/0 then no.

You won't see any difference between the two and i myself prefer welding cable under the hood for added protection.

The jacket on welding cable breaks down quickly with contact to petroleum based products. That's why you've never seen it used by any OEM - ever.

Welding Cable is always pure copper, and 2/0 is comparable to nice car audio 1/0, just make sure to put some expanding sleeve to protect it under hood.
