[QUOTE="Julian, post: 7839896, member: 625353"] It actually has more copper than you think Most CCA is usually 90% alum and 10% copper, they add the copper to the alum to make it more flexiable since alum is brittle. I would look into welding cable, that's what I use. You can get 2/0 for the same price as "car audio" wire with a heftier jacket and with more copper. CCA can usually only handle a maximum of 250amps or less, copper can withstand up to 350+ amps out of 1/0 even more with 2,3, and 4/0 [/QUOTE]
