[QUOTE="bgowdy, post: 8370744, member: 632121"] i love these questions/discussions. Really its all personal preference. CCA will be fine for what ever you want to run no matter the power. The kicker is knowing your wire. Ive ran 4k before on CCA and it performed fine for me. I just did 4 runs(2power and 2 grounds) front to back. Never had issues and didnt run fuses either. I can get almost 3 times the amount of 1/0ga CCA then i can 1 run of 1/0ga OFC. To make matters worse on the 4k i was using cheap as[COLOR=black]s[/COLOR] CCA. I think it was "The Install Bay" 1/0 CCA lol. But it worked for me. 2 Deka g31s in back, 220a DC alt, 4 runs of install bay cca 1/0, 4kw running full tilt, only dropped to 13.7v from 14.3 while at idle, and didnt drop below 14.1 at 2k rpms unless it was a heavy bass note then it would touch 14v lol I have a friend/teammate who has been running 10k+ on CCA and has been doing it for years. Hes ran a Stetsom 14k, 2 American 500.1s, American Bass 1000.1, and now he has 2 CT-7k's and never had any issues. Another teammate runs 2 Flatline BA3 8ks on 1/0 CCA and does fine also. So to me it seems like personal prefence, and if you want to spend the extra cash [/QUOTE]
