Depends on the quality of wire.

At that price I'm gonna assume it's CCA

Probably priced around where it should be.

Ofc is what he said

I find it really hard to believe good OFC would be going for less than $2.00 a foot, unless it's been discounted a lot

What I thought, I have seen it less than two plenty plenty of times when buy by foot but rolls I haven't seen less than 150

Good OFC is normally like $4 a foot, Knu is $3.95 a foot

Knu is two

I rhymed

You're looking at their CCA. Knu OFC is $4 a foot.

I highly doubt he's selling OFC for that price and I also doubt he lied to you so I'm going to guess that you're mixing things up.

OFC is pure copper, CCA is copper clad aluminum. OFC>CCA. Either will do the job though as long as you know the limits of the wire.

If it is CCA then there are some preorders over on CACO if you can wait. 1 is for $50 shipped.

I know the diff in wire if I use CCA I will use 2/0 to compensate

Are you planning an SPL build now?

edit: Even if the price is before shipping I can't see how you're going to get 50 ft of OFC 1/0 wire for $86. Even an undersized CCA 50 ft spool I can order, but will never sell, costs nearly $80. The cost of copper and shipping is too high for that to add up.

It's not ofc at $86 per roll look at our conversation the ofc is 175 shipped the cca is 86

How much wire are you looking for? I can send some to Tulsa this weekend with Tony if you want to snag it local.
