[QUOTE="bgowdy, post: 8315807, member: 632121"] i understand that OFC is better then CCA, however i have never had issues using CCA and i still do currently. Before i ran a bc3500. I ran 4 runs of cheap CCA(Bullz audio 1/0-2 pos & 2 neg) and never had issues, even tested the wire temperature while playing full tilt just to see how much heat actually built up but it really didnt get very warm at all(probably due to me having plenty of head room and the current split). I would only drop .5 -.6v at idle and like .2 - .3 @ 2k rpms also this was with only a 220a alt, and 2 dekas. The reason i got it was because i could get 100ft for less than the price of 50ft of good OFC. [B]Im not saying its the best option[/B] or[B] "the right way" if you will"[/B], but if you have the means to do it, then why not save some money(in my case, i saved about $40 or so to go towards something else in my build). But im not arguing, just given a opinion from personal EXP. I dont understand how the statement " do it right the first time" applies to this part of a build. Yes OFC is the better option, YES we all know this, BUT this does not make using CCA "the wrong way"... People have been using CCA for years and STILL do today... So not understanding how its the "wrong way".. just my .2 [/QUOTE]
