Well...I skimmed it but didn't the voltage start at 14.6 for the CCA and 15.3 for the OFC?

I'm not watching a 10 min video, how much of a difference was it

I think the CCA did 3,024 at 13.4 volts and the OFC did 3,274 at 14.3? I'm a little buzzed but that's what the numbers looked like to me

Watch the end of the video, I went back and tested the CCA again with a higher start voltage.

Sorry will do

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

OFC held a higher voltage. Test was done using 7 D1400s for a battery bank. I will run the test one more time just to make sure there are no discrepancies.

I will do my best to create exact starting voltage conditions and re run both tests. What I am curious about is the voltage. In all of the other tests I have done using only OFC, all of my voltages have been very similar on back to back tests.

I am curious now, I will see what I can do to make this test as legit as possible and give each wire the best possible chance.

Watch the video and you will see. Very very little difference.

very little difference? 250 watts on a 3 foot run is BIG IMO. It will more then likely get way worse on a more standard run of 16-20ft.

I definitely agree that it will get worse on longer runs. This is why I ALWAYsS recommend a small battery in the back to act as a buffer of sorts. Give the amp a power source close to it to draw from instead of having to draw everything from a battery 20' away.

Did you not do a test with two runs of cca? I thought that was the whole argument because it's half the price???
