OFC has less resistance then CCA. OFC will allow current to flow easier then CCA. Having more volts making it to the end of the run. Along with less heat caused by the resistance, helping voltage even more.

I run CCA. I have a buddy who swapped all of his shok 1/0 cca out of his burp CRX for shok OFC and he didn't gain anything on the TL. It's dialed in to do the same number constantly.

But it is install dependent for sure.

From the front battery to the rear battery or amp. Your grounding strap in normally under the front battery, its the best ground in the car

What about the front battery to the engine block. ANd the back batteries to the frame?

Is it still better to run from the front battery to the trunk?

I need to know because as soon as it gets nice out. (winter ends) I am going to remove my seats and stuff to do these extra runs. And I only want to have to do that 1 time

So right now. I have 1 to the engine block. 1 to the trunk/frame. I have an another available spot on the opposite side of the trunk for another spot.

And should I do 2 runs of ground from the front battery to the back ones?

you can if you want.if you look at any competition vehicles ,they have the same amount of runs frt to back of each

if your going to be running grounds back up front, the best place to ground is straight to the alt case.

How come?

THis is just a daily driver though. But I obviously want to do things right so every lasts and nothing breaks.
