Mixing CCA and OFC


Recommended Posts

Posted

Is there and down side to this? I ask because I have enough OFC to do my runs, but I also have 50' for CCA from my last build that I thought about going from my battery to my amps and such. Was just wondering if I should just spend the extra money on the OFC for a full OFC wire on power

You can get your truck to do what?

wtf is lolcats?

I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers.

I was hoping for 150 :(.

I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt

I'd use OFC for long runs and CCA for shorter runs.

Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do that
I can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows

came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream.

oh lawd.

If it's a 50' uncut roll you could sell it, but on short runs just from battery to amp you probably wouldn't notice much difference, I would just make sure to do your main power runs from front to back in OFC.

Yeah my main power from front to back will be OFC then I'm use my left over CCA for bat to amp

Okay. I'm running a crescendo 3500.. Should the run from bat to amp be fine with CCA?

I have 100 ft of OFC, which should cover my two runs to battery, then bat to bat, then bat to amp. I'm just asking if I needed too, could I do it
