[QUOTE="SPL Blazer, post: 7306989, member: 587873"] For a small system like the OP has, OFC or CCA wire won't make any difference. CCA wire is 66% efficient compared to the equal OFC wire. If he's got a 200 amp alt it could be a piece of crap, like the 200 amp one I had. Might be 200 amps at 1500+ rpm, but mine only put out 30 amps at idle, half the idle output of the stock alt. If he's got voltage drop issues this could very well be the problem. A Big 3 upgrade would be a great thing to do regardless, but I think it could be his alt thats garbage. [/QUOTE]
