Have you actually ever ran CCA?
That $hit will turn to powder I Shit you not.. Also it will get brittle and break..
I'm helping someone right now that did his setup with CCA and it's toast after 3 years? no thanks..

That stuff is junk and will corrode quicker that the cheapest copper you can find..

Ai answer:

"Yes, aluminum can break down quicker than copper when current is traveling through it due to its higher electrical resistance and susceptibility to corrosion. This can lead to overheating and failure in electrical connections over time."

Here's a whole thing about how Al is more brittle, that's in there:

I never made that claim, why do you want me to play pretend with you?

Now he'll go into deny & deflect mode. I've always found it "interesting" when I'm expected to defend positions I've never taken; and they coincidentally always seem to be a ridiculous and indefensible claim. Strange how that works.

Dude you're rich!!!!

Not sure... we will have to ask Rob.

He'll know the answer. I think he should start a an AI search engine and call it RobGPT. The company slogan would be: "Trust Rob for the right answers.".

Non-Ai answer:

Copper Clad Aluminum Building Wire for Use in Residential Branch Circuit Wiring Passing the Test of Time: PART TWO

iaeimagazine.org

"The reality is that CCA as a conductor material has proven to be remarkably well-suited for use as a residential building wire, and arguably the best core metal for the job of the three permissible metals in code. CCA is thermally stable (like copper), 2.7X lighter than copper, pliable, twistable, strong (like copper), and UL-compliant with all copper-only connection devices, more electrically efficient than copper when sized to NEC recommendations (less voltage drop), significantly more economical per foot than solid copper at modern commodity pricing levels and, perhaps the most endearing advantage to the residential builder, theft resistant.

Ninety-nine-point nine percent of recyclers will not accept CCA core wire if they know what it is. When sized correctly in the circuit, a Cu-Clad conductor runs 4% more efficiently (less heat loss) when set against the NEC recommended copper equivalent, which translates into significant energy conservation over the life of the circuit.

Next to solid aluminum building wire, which is susceptible to galvanic corrosion and brittleness in the circuit when mistakenly paired with copper-only devices, both potentially lethal conditions, Cu-Clad conductors are neither. CCA is not susceptible to galvanic corrosion because of its thick copper hide, and is remarkably pliable, strong and twistable as a result of the pressure bond manufacturing process of mechanical cladding"


Yeah, car audio isn't home electrical, but I'm pretty sure electricity doesn't know or care (or is there a different Ohm's law for car audio?)

He can't just stfu... he has to be right about everything no matter what in whatever way he can.
